This is single-handedly one of the vest Vampire novels ever written. It's everything you want Dracula to *actually* be. 

And it's very clear Midnight Mass wouldn't exist without it.

While graphic, nothing ever feels out of place, equally it never feels like it's KING saying it, it's all the character. It's brilliantly written.

Very good take on the vampire trope, quite a slow burn in terms of horror but very tense. Quite long though 😅

I love Stephen King, his writing really works for me and I usually love his stories, but I just hate vampires. That's literally the only reason I didn't like this book. The writing was amazing, and I like how descriptive it is, but I'm just not a fan of vampires.
