lunababymoonchild Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 'Salem's Lot, Stephen King. Absolutely marvellous. And what a pleasure reading a paper book! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Just finished the second of two bonus short reads in this copy, they are : One For the Road and Jerusalem's Lot. The man is a great story teller! There are deleted scenes at the back of the book but I'm not sure that I want to read them. I'll take the rest of the day to decide.

The novel is quite hefty, it takes a while to pick up pace. In the beginning, it's even a bit boring, only from the middle on do some action scenes start happening. Overall it's interesting, but not as thrilling as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know anything about the Celts, this book might still be enjoyable for you. For me, the book didn't provide any new information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still working my way through Watkins Book of English Folktales and I love it. It’s perfect if you’re interested in how folktales develop and how they’re categorised! I have started to feel like I’d like to dig into a longer story now though, so I might be tempted to read something alongside it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this slow pace is Stephen King's trademark and makes his works unique and memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our group read at the moment has a ‘folklore and fairytale’ theme though, do you think it would fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book itself is gripping and terrifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted Thursday at 12:55 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 12:55 PM More Vampirisim. This time an absolute classic, some 19 pages long, The Vampyre by John William Polidori, 1819 Gothic horror. Said to have "laid the foundation for modern vampire literature, influencing many authors to go deeper into the gothic vampire genre." It was great, short, and not, compared to today's standards, horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call myself a fan of vampire stuff, but I still couldn't resist this story, which is considered the first work about vampirism. Maybe it's because of my love for classic literature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
