Salem's Lot

Last night I started Salem's Lot by Stephen King. There is really nothing better than some King to get you ready for fall. I know this is one of his most classic novels. It was his second published novel and it is about vampires.
I'm not sure why I decided to read it. To be totally honest, I have always shied away from Salem's Lot because I think vampires are stupid.
So far I am 50 pages in and am enjoying it. Nothing special so far, but definitely interesting. It's almost 500 pages long... One of those books that makes me glad I have a Nook.
I am very excited to see where it's going. The characters so far are unique but relatable. I expect a lot out of this one :)
