Salem's Lot
OK, I adore King, I adore vampire stories. My dad would kick my ass if he heard me say that (well, actually he'd just be severely disappointed and try to ignore it, but hey). I've seen quite a few, read quite a few and am trying to write one. And I have to say, this is overrated. Now the prose is EXCELLENT, in the same way Updike's drawn out prose is. The description of the town and its characters is wonderful, but it drowns out the plot and the thrills, leading the human versus vampire war to feel weak sometimes. So, 7/10.
