“Almost everyone thought the man and the boy were father and son.“

tpixie I read this book when it first came out as a teenager. I absolutely loved it. But from then on until probably finally in my 30s 😂 when we got a big black lab, I had to always make sure all the windows & draperies were closed at night time so I would not see a vampire out my window!!! 🪟 🧛🏻‍♂️ 😱 17h
Bookwomble @tpixie The vampire at the window element of Salem's Lot always put me in mind of the story The Vampire of Croglin Grange - very spooky! 14h
tpixie @Bookwomble ohh! Dare I read that?! 13h

dabbe I'm in for a good scare, aren't I? 😱 13h
tpixie @dabbe yes! Although since you‘re an adult, you might do better than 14- 15-year-old me! 12h
tpixie @Bookwomble I found the vampire of croglin grange! https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0605661h.html (edited) 11h
dabbe @tpixie The 15-year old me who saw the original FRIDAY THE 13TH in the movie theater (so dating myself) still checks under her bed every night before she goes to bed. 😂 9h
tpixie @dabbe 🩵🩵🩵 I have to have at least a sheet over me- no matter how hot I am- a simple sheet can protect me from the bogeyman!! If it‘s off, he will come! And I never allow my feet or arms to hang over the bed! 😂 9h
dabbe @tpixie We are the best wimps, aren't we? 🩶🖤🩶 9h
tpixie @dabbe yes! We are!!! 🩵🪼🩵 9h
Bookwomble @tpixie Croglin Grange was first published in 1900 by an archdeacon, so it's not gory, but it is spooky. Nice find on Gutenberg 😊 I think it's only 5 or 6 pages, so should be a quick read 🧛‍♂️ 4h

I loved to get to know more about V's past, and I really loved Jane who was smart and sassy. There were also so many scenes showing what happened to other characters in the series and there is still so much coming!

I am not 100 % what I think about the ending and things that happened there. But this was a compelling read.

Decided to start a reread of the chronicles. Then decided it is to be a chronological readthrough of Rice's work. I dunno, I'm just here for the atmosphere.

Forever obsessed with these two idiots though. This is probably my fifth time reading this one. It's interesting though because I haven't picked it up in years and I noticed that I was placing plotpoints from the film into my memories of the novel when they just aren't there.

SpeculativeFemale I always remember discovering these as a teenager. They were formative reading for me! 6d
everlocalwest @SpeculativeFemale literally same! I remember finding my original copy of Interview in a secondhand bookshop at like 14. 6d

“Maybe the king always knew that his greatest love would be his ruination. Maybe he knew it the moment he met her. He‘d know it the second time he died, too.”

I love this gorgeous special edition!! And this series is fabulous 🖤🗡️🩸🧛

A #blogtour title, I loved the take on #vampire lore in this one! As well as all the Latine culture *everywhere* 😘 I did think it was a bit too fast-paced, but I think it worked with the story since both characters are on borrowed time. A 3.75 ⭐ read #fantasy
