Having watched this after seeing the 2004 film adaptation, I must say that the old saying that the book is always better most definitely applies here...it has the typical aura of horror about it that permeates most of Stephen King's works in New England towns.
<spoiler>I wasn’t impressed by a buncha white dudes trying to stake a vampire. I couldn’t tell any of the characters apart. </spoiler>
I first read this as a mere stripling yoof of 14 and I'm not ashamed to say it scared the living daylights out of me. 26 years later, and I stood with Danny outside the door of room 217 and felt like a child again. This book is a quantum leap ahead of where Stephen King was with 'Salem's Lot. Most people reviewing this seem to have difficulty separating it from Stanley Kubrick's movie, but not me. They're very different stories. The book is wonderful, as is the movie. Just for different reasons.
