[spoiler] I'm on the fence about what rating should I give to this title. Even though the score I put down is three stars, a 3.5 rating is more accurate. This alternate version is the first time I checked out this story, so I can't compare how it is to the original text. The first part of the story ...
Growing up, these stories about a pre-teen con artist in late 19th Century Utah were among my favorites. I remember stumbling on a box set at a Yard Sale after I'd read them from the Library a couple of times and just about wore out the set reading and re-reading them. Even then, I remember that I h...
Somehow, one of my all-time favorite classic horror stories just didn’t stand up to time and my adult reading habits on this re-read. The scenes I most enjoyed as a teen were as creepily nightmarish as I remembered – [spoiler] Mike Ryerson digging Danny Glick’s grave, Danny at Mark’s window, the boy...
I'm not usually an audio book person, the one person reading with just changing voice doesn't distance characters enough for me, so when I saw this was an ensemble cast, I jumped all over it. I watched the show on Starz before listening to this and was pleasantly surprised at how closely the show...
Whoops -- it's been two and a half years since I read the first volume in the series -- I really meant to get back to it sooner.

A struggling author returns to the town he grew up in to revisit some skeletons of his past for a new book. He finds romance, friendship and more evil then he can deal with as townspeople start disappearing. Stephen King can really describe a setting and get you settled in. He gets the reader th...
I had heard quite a bit of talk about Salem's Lot before starting it. Mainly that it's quite terrifying to read. While I did enjoy it and found it a bit disturbing I just wasn't scared. Because of that I can't help but be slightly disappointed. Ben Mears has moved into the Jeruselom's Lot and move...
It's a traveling panoply of old gods and other roadside attractions. Comparisons to Stephen King's "The Stand" are not entirely amiss as it tends to drag until the body count picks up. Gaiman writes superbly as a keen participant-observer of American culture, though in the case of "American Gods" it...
