Not only do I think that Salem's Lot is the best of King's novels, but it's really at the summit of all horror fiction for me. Every few years, I pull out my worn copy and give it a re-read, and it's held up over the decades. Not only terrifying, it's a novel about the 1970s, a novel about small towns, a novel about the push/pull between childhood and adulthood. And I still avoid looking directly out the windows at night, thanks Mr. King. Couldn’t agree more.
