I am looking forward to hosting our first spooky book club! The Marsten House should be ready for visitors on Friday! I think it's no coincidence that Jerusalem's Lot, or to the locals "The Lot", resides in Cumberland County and Andy and I live in Cumberland! I hope my previous email gets you in the moooooood!! muwah ha ha! In addition, here are our discussion questions!
- What is the theme of Salem's Lot?
- Why did Stephen King put the end of the story in the prologue?
- Did you think the book was scary? Was it the scariest book you've ever read?
- Certain scenes, Hank Peters & Royal Snow delivering the sideboard were such creepy and intense senes but nothing really happened... the mood was perfectly executed by Stephen King. What other scenes, if any, had you on the edge of your seat?
- Do you feel S. King does a nice job of letting the readers do some of the work? Is this the key to a good suspense story?
- Why did Barlow & Straker need a furniture store?
- Did you enjoy the book? As a kid I had a love/hate relationship with scary movies! I would watch them all! Couldn't wait to see them, but always was terrified for days (weeks?) afterwards! What, if any, are some of your favorite spooky stories you saw/read as a kid? Any recent books/movies that you would consider a great work of horror?
- Amber
