This Month's Book

'Salem's Lot

by Stephen King

From one of the world's bestselling authors

Thousands of miles away from the small township of 'Salem's Lot, two terrified people still share the secrets of those clapboard houses and tree-lined streets.
One is an eleven-year-old boy. He never speaks but his eyes betray the indescribable horror he has witnessed.
The other is a man plagued by nightmares, a man who knows that soon he and the boy must return to 'Salem's Lot for a final confrontation with the unspeakable evil that lives on in the town where not one is human anymore...

Jessie's Thoughts

Rating

Jessie's short of sleep enough just now so this month it's Miranda vs King. His horror classic was first published in 1975. It's a trip down a very scary Memory Lane where there's something nasty not only in the woodshed but in, or under, all those innocent dwellings ... or are they, are they really? I'm about to lock the doors and windows, turn all the lights on and READ - and I'm not inviting anyone in!... more
