A superb novel set in classic Stephen King territory - a small new England town about to be engulfed by terror. Turn off the television - in fact, why don't you turn off all the lights except for the one over your favourite chair? - and we'll talk about vampires here in the dim. I think I can make you believe in them. Stephen King, from the introduction. Salem's Lot is a small New England town with the usual quota of gossips, drinkers, weirdos and respectable folk.

King’s Quiet Masterpiece
Revisado: 10-28-21
Easily one of Kings strongest titles. Featuring a bit more creativity and experimentation due to being so early in his career. The Lot is such a fresh experience as both a fan of King and also in the overly gore orientated horror landscape of today. The Lot is a beautifully dark and atmospherically oppressive story about the death of a town and those that stand against it. Shorter than much of his work and an solute joy from start to finish.

When an 11-year-old boy is found murdered, forensic evidence and reliable eyewitnesses undeniably point to the town's popular Little League coach. But the jailed suspect, arrested in a public spectacle, has an alibi, and further research convinces Detective Ralph Anderson that the coach was indeed out of town. So how can he have been in two places at the same time?

Great hook but it gets very bloated
Revisado: 12-16-20
overall I thought the book was pretty damn good. the hook was electric and kept me going as the pacing started to crawl. the book should have been 5 hours shorter and never should have left the small town it was set in. once the focus switches to Texas the hooks impact fades and the books horror eliminates fade as well til your left with a pretty boring slog as we have already learnt all we need about to outsider but they keep feeding us the same information. characters aren't given enough time despite the slowed down pacing to develop outside of the first 5 hours so it's clear a lot of the party are there for the sake of being killed which is a shame because with some stronger development I'd have cared more about them and their deaths. a very strong book but a little bloated at the end. still worth listening to!

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine, was just their hometown: familiar, well ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing....

A great deal
Revisado: 07-21-20
a very long book which gives you a real sense of presence and physicality to the setting and characters. I wouldn't call it particularly scary but that's all very subjective. I found it to be really heartfelt and sweet between it's moments of intensity and that's what kept me listening day in and day out. losses some of its steam by the end but the strength of this type of book is the pace and rythem of its second act and not so much the slow first or the overly philosophical third. Thankfully the second act (which I would argue begins at the building of the dam and goes till the end of the meeting in the library in the 80's) is the longest. while not a perfect book by any stretch of the imagination the narrator lends the often weird dialogue and bizzar jumps in logic a sense of beleavability as he effortlessly bounces between the young and old cast with very defined voices which makes it extremely easy to listen to.
