Title: Modern-Day Classic
Review: I've been a longtime fan of King, and 'Salem's Lot is near the top my list of favorites. King is as lyrically descriptive in places as Anne Rice -- especially the park scene with Ben and Susan. This book illustrates King's masterful talent for taking the everyday and the possible and turning it upside down to show you the horror in everyday life. King will go down as one of the greatest writers of all time, and probably the single greatest writer of our era, because he describes society as it really is - and as it may have the potential to be. If you like Poe and Hawthorne but think King is pop/pulp fiction, read this book with new eyes.
