not what it appears to be2
How excited was I to learn of an expanded illustrated version of my favourite king novel was coming out yet how disappointed was I when it arrived?
The two 'new' stories are from his night shift collection, 'one for the road' and 'Jerusalems Lot' and they are bundled at the end with an introduction that tells us nothing new about the book, merely a rehash of previously printed material.
The 'illustrations' are black and white photographs that whilst striking do not gel with the story and worst of all, in my opinion anyway, the deleted scenes are chucked at the back of the book like sloppy appendices and are not even integrated into the story.
All in all it seems like a marketing ploy to me to rip people off-beautifully packaged but not worth the price. Buy the paperback and spend the difference on a book by some up and coming author like Kelley Armstrong or Charlaine Harris would be my advice

Vampire's beware Stephen King will scare5
I thought this was a good book, it was the way it switched from one place to another, I have to tell you I did have trouble putting it down. I just finished one chapter and I couldn't wait to read the next, which is always the way with Stephen King novels. He leave's you gagging for more, you just can't wait to read the next chapter. This is a story of a man and a boy, the boy is quite, the man an author, a good one at that, and they have to go back to the small town known to the locals as 'Salem's Lot', which is filled with blood sucking vampire's and the quest is set, to go up to the old Marstan House and kill the head vampire. In other words a great book, really enjoyably.

ok but not one of his best!3
This is basicaly a story of a small town that is home to a vampire. He gradually either kills or assimilates most of the town and itis up to a small group of individuals to save the town and mankind! Not a great plot. I was disappointed with this one.
