I love a horror with a slow creeping monster that stays just out of sight. I always love a good investigation. Salem's Lot definitely had both of those things. There were a ton of characters, but I mostly kept them straight. I appreciated the way that ending played out. There was a logic to it. Some of the harsh and awful town members seemed typical of books written at this time period. I didn't like it, but I did expect it.
Overall enjoyable, but not the most horrifying King I have read.
