So I took 2 hardcover books with me on vacation last week: Bazaar of Bad Dreams and A Game of Thrones. Those are some pretty weighty titles to pack for an airline trip. For some reason, I ended up not touching either one of them because I somehow finding myself opening up my Kindle version of 'Salem's Lot. I've mentioned before that this was my first SK read, and this is now my 3rd time through it. I haven't finished it yet, but am almost there. It's such a terrific read.
I've also mentioned how I really enjoy the Tobe Hooper mini-series from way back when, and always like those moments where I find it on tv. However, I've managed to mix up some of the elements from the novel and the adaptation that I was pleased to set straight. Mainly, it's Barlow. The miniseries portrays him as a feral, Nosferatu type (which now makes me automatically think of the film What We Do in the Shadows - a must see). But in the book, he's actually a character who speaks and taunts the fearless vampire killers rather cruelly. I wish they would've explored this in the original television film. I've never seen the re-make from a few years ago as I've just assumed that it's rubbish, so I don't know if they were more true to the source in that version.
