I’m surprised I’ve never heard King compared to Ray Bradbury
It is refreshing to see a more Bram Stoker approach (so far) then the “vampires as enemy bike gang” approach which I have loved since watching The Lost Boys and Whedon used. I wonder if King will give the vampire ghostly properties (bodies could become mist and then solidify in the original Dracula novel).
But I do hate seeing Stoker’s rather inventive way of pasting together “journals” given up in favor of a standard third-person approach. Then again, Stoker’s attempt was a failure, so maybe King was smart to not try to emulate it.
One thought on “So far, reading Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot”
