This is the greatest vampire novel ever written. Forget Stoker, ignore Rice, this is it. Why? Because the vampires herein are not your friends. They are not your lovers. There is nothing remotely lovable about Barlow's children of the night. They simply want to fucking drain you. Like many people,...

Read in 2012 (from October 10, 2011 to March 11, 2012) I would have to agree with myself as a person who read King's Cell that King is a completely mediocre writer. The fact that he's appreciated by the reading community so much makes all of this even more ridiculous. I assume that his kind of ...

Don't get me wrong--I love Buffy--but one of the things we can lay on its doorstep is the glamorization and sexing up of vampires. And we can probably blame Anne Rice too. And LK Hamilton. So nowadays vampires in one blockbuster series popular with tweens sparkle, shine and are the (rich) boy next d...

It did not affect Stephen King's bottom line at all, but it took me a long time to get around to reading one of his books, mainly because I never really enjoyed horror movies, especially the slasher/splatter variety, which, for some reason, is the kind of story I thought King told. One reason King's...
