'Salem's Lot by Stephen King (2005, Hardcover, Illustrated)

Early Stephen King novels have always been my favorites. I have all his books in paperback. Hardcover is the only way to own your favorite books!

King has outdone himeself with this edition. This book not only brings you to Salem's Lot, it puts you there as one of the residents, illustrations, deleted scenes, and all!! The best description would be: This edition provides the clearest picture and brings today's younger generation of readers back to the 1970s when this book was conceived. It does away with the most common (fatal) mistake of all present day movie remakes-which is to "PUT AN OLD MOVIE INTO AN UPDATED TODAY VERSION." That is why the new Salem's Lot movie (starring Rob Lowe) pales in comparison to the original (starring David Soul)which gives the story its "bite!".Today's younger generation reader, for instance, would have a little trouble figuring out what a "Citroen" is, albeit David Soul's Jeep Renegade versus Rob Lowe's SUV!This book version should have come sooner!!

Stephen King is 2nd on my list of all time greatest authors ( First is Dean Koontz ), I just wish he could write a book a week, Then I wouldnt have to keep waiting for the next one to come out. Im not going to go into details about the book as if you are like me, I prefer to not know anything untill I start reading about it in the book, I have read most of his books so far and I love them all.
So as you can probably guess from what I wrote above, I highly Recomend this book.
This is another of his books made into a movie, The film is considered a classic Horror flick.
