Salem's Lot

Image
Author: Stephen King  Genre: Horror Original Publication date: October 1975 Book description: 'Salem's Lot is a small New England town with white clapboard houses, tree-lined streets, and solid church steeples. That summer in 'Salem's Lot was a summer of home-coming and return; spring burned out and the land lying dry, crackling underfoot. Late that summer, Ben Mears returned to 'Salem's Lot hoping to cast out his own devils... and found instead a new unspeakable horror. A stranger had also come to the Lot, a stranger with a secret as old as evil, a secret that would wreak irreparable harm on those he touched and in turn on those they loved. All would be changed forever—Susan, whose love for Ben could not protect her; Father Callahan, the bad priest who put his eroded faith to one last test; and Mark, a young boy who sees his fantasy world become reality and ironically proves the best equipped to handle the relentless nightmare of 'Salem's Lot. ...

Book Haul March

So this month I tried to reduce my book buying, here is the proof. Books bought: 1. El laberinto de los espiritus, Carlos Ruiz Zafon . A historical fiction that had great hype, that really needs to be read simply because I have part of the series, I actually have books 2, 3 ad 4 now, only missing the number 1. 2. El mundo perdido, Micheal Crichton , this is the second installment to the Jurassic world series. 3. Walking Dead Compendium 2 and 3, Robert Kirkman . This is a collection of several volumes of the graphic novel about Rick who is trying to survive the new reality of America, there is a plague of dead that are trying to get you, but most of all what's left of humanity also became monsters.  5. Nightshift, Stephen King as part of my personal challenge to read al the backlist of the author.  6. Salem's lot, Stephen King a mystery horror book about a small town an a monster terrorizing them. 7. Swan Song, Robert McCamman  8. The stand, Stephen King a plag...

1000 door readathon prompt 4

  We are moving forward, this is going great. So the criteria to select our door this time was. Did you like the main character : Yes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22MLBmm-5vg Kinda No DNF I of course liked the main character so that's the door for me.  This time we found Megan and as it seems to be her theme this readathon the way to select the book is, she will provide a Meme. Relate that feeling, vibe to a book and that's how we're going to pick our next read. A few ways to interpret this is: A book with mixed reviews. A very hyped book. Something you are 100% sure it's your thing but hope it is. Anything that you have heard a slightly negative thing about would work. So my pick for this door is: Sebastien de Castell's Saint's blood. I have heard several people who have been reading the series a bit ahead of me that completely praise the first in the series and the second they found very enjoyable. This third one is getting a lot of mixed reviews. For many...
