'Salem's Lot

This book was so easy to pick up and then not put down. The build-up was consistent and the tension did not let up, even when the beats of the narrative slowed. This book was terrifying and I found my fingers shaking even when reading in plain daylight. But for best results, read after midnight, after everyone else has gone to bed, when the wind is blowing just enough to make the branches scratch at your window, when the moon is peaking out from behind the clouds and illuminate your face to reflect in the glass of the window as you check outside for spooky ghoulies.
