Welcome back Frank. We missed ya.Pew!
Now you'll have to read the short stories "Jerusalems Lot" (a prequel) and "One For The Road" (a sequel, but more like an epilogue). Both stories appear in Night Shift. I thought Jerusalem's Lot was okay, but definitely different. I really enjoyed "One For The Road."Finished 'salems Lot a few weeks ago and man it was WAY better than I thought it would be. The end was definitely a little open ended but Im glad he went that way
It is a bit openended. My understanding of it is that the burn the town down, thus hoping too kill as many as possible because they wouldn't have as many hiding places left and not so much time too find new ones. But as i understood it they didn't expect to get all of them. They were satisfied with the majority. (this is also partly from later King books where the Lot is mentioned as town that has burned, a creepy place that people tend to avoid). I guess the message is something like: "You cant win em all. Sometimes you have to accept a tie" or something like it.I just finished reading 'Salem's Lot and I was wondering what happened. Did Ben and Mark start cleaning up the town? It seems so open ended.
You know with vampires Kurben that at least one will escape. Usually the ones that weren't arsewipes in real life. MH.It is a bit openended.

Callahan wasn't under Barlow's control, but was made "unclean" and basically exiled ... You can read "The Wolves of the Calla" to get the full story. The under Barlow's control part was used in the remake of the mini-series. I tend to be open minded about different visions of the novels (it is easy to put it on a different level of the Tower and call it a day), but that part of the adaption really ruined the whole thing for me.Were Ben and Mark the only ones to make it out ? I seem to remember Father Callahan escaping but wasnt he a vampire at that stage ? Or at least under the control of Barlow
