Brilliant! Just Brilliant!I wasn't even born in 1975 when the book was published, yet i connected with the story and the characters. They didn't seem old fashioned and out-dated. Stephen King sure knows how to captivate the reader and scare the shit out of them in his typical way. Aptly, we had a couple of nights of thunderstorms here and suffice it to say i had to check the windows to make sure they were closed properly.I fall more in love with this book and its characters every single time I read it. It's both heartbreaking and terrifying and that's a huge part of why I love it so much. I always have a hard time enjoying vampire novels and I definitely think that stems from my love of this book. King does vampires in such a horrifying way that nothing quite lives up to Barlow after reading this book. Despite finding him utterly terrifying, I absolutely adore Barlow as a character. In fact, I think he may just
Still the easiest 5 star book. If this was the only book ever written, I would still be considered an avid reader. No question that this is my all-time favorite book. Even got tense reading it for the 4th time.
Hey. Im not a vampire fan, okay?I mean, I am cool with scary books, and I read scary books, but vampires...Theyre just not really my thing. If I had to power rank my favorite types of horror novels, and I cant imagine a time where I would have to do that, except now, obviously...Vampires would be near the bottom of the list. Vampires would be one or two spots above werewolves. Werewolves are stupid, and so are books about them. Werewolves, give me a break. Now, I am a Stephen King fan. Not all
I hate vampires. I hate them and I hate books about them. I hate the way they're romanticized and sexualized and just generally presented in modern fiction. That's why I loved this book. King doesn't shy away from the fact that vampires are creatures of horror and he presents them as such. They are vile, violent, and everywhere, and that's the way I like them.The characters pitted against them, particularly the priest, are compelling and almost too human to face the vampires. And, in the end,
There was a time once when vampires were ruthless predators and not the misunderstood brooding and essentially harmless creatures. Ahhhh, good old scary times... Vampire stories have been around for a long time - after all, people love a good scare, and what is more terrifying than a monster showing up at night and sucking the life essence out of you? But leave it to Stephen King to turn the terror up a notch, add a whole new layer to it. How? Simply - using the winning formula that he continues
Well this is annoying times two. I just wrote a review and lost it, and then there's the *other* issue.What other issue?Oh, the one where my 14 year old self of infinite wisdom and experience remembered a boring tale lacking truly epic blood and guts from what should be a vampire tale in a small town. If that 14 year old could have had his way, then 80% of the novel would have been excised for being too-character driven, too-focused on hundreds of characters only set up to be knocked down in
