Mia Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I've always thjought that Needful Things never gets enough credit. It really is an amazing read and I think the whole concept of it is genius. It's so interesting how he plays all the characters off of each other. I couldn't agree more! It's kind of a "quiet" novel and very under-rated, but it is very cleverly done. I enjoyed it.

UnderTheDome40 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Personally, I love vampires - I've always found them fascinating & was drawn to Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series because of the Vamp aspect - there are also shapeshifters in those books. I wasn't disappointed. ANd, of course, Keley Armstrong has themes of werewolves, demons, vampires, Witches, sorcerers & all kinds of other stuff - she even deals with the afterlife - & I love her books. Kell you should try "They Thirst" by Robert R McCammon. It's the closest thing to Salems Lot that there is and those are my two favorite vampire novels of all time. It sounds like you read Salems Lot already. If so, and you liked it, i really recommend this one by McCammon. There's other good vampire books too though, The Stake by Richard Laymon was pretty solid. Edited October 22, 2013 by UnderTheDome40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It features Father Callahan pretty heavily and we find out what happened to him after Salems Lot. And Justin Cronins The Passage/The Twelve are good man made vampire books. And Yep The Stake was a solid read i agree although i still havent read The Travelling Vampire Show by Laymon (the only one i havent read of his) supposed to be really good.

Maybe one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was a decent read it wasn't one of my best King books Edited November 9, 2013 by Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooshie Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I read Joyland a few months ago and really enjoyed it. I have read Stephen King books since the 1970s, although he went through a period in the middle where I didn't enjoy many, but this is a short read and I thought a good one.
