What are we reading?

[Gusington]

It's reading quickly for me...I am about 125 pages in. The version I have is divided into three 'books' so I am almost done with the first one. I really like it. I want to write something like this for Hudson Valley small towns, which can give Maine small towns a run for their money in terms of creep factor.

I didn't know you grew up in rural Maine...what town??

[mirth]

Benton. About 20 minutes north of Augusta. Very small farm town surrounded by similar small towns.

Turns out Salem's Lot would be much closer to where I live now. Doesn't take long outside of Portland to get into the sticks.

When you get into western Maine, there's a real King vibe to a lot of places. Places where you would not want to break down after dark because you know they'd never find your body.

[Gusington]

Sounds a lot like...my driveway 🤡

I drove through your neck of the woods last year. Upstate NY has a very similar look/feel to the inland areas of Maine.

[Gusington]

I know and you sped by before I could invite you in for a beer. Loser.

[mirth]

No way I was sticking around past dark.

[Gusington]

Probably for the best. The road out is wooded on all sides.

[mirth]

I have maybe 70 pages left of Salem's Lot. Needed to take a break and go to see my priest.

I'm very glad I don't live in the sticks these days.

Oh, I bet the Killer, Lesbian Vampires are just as afraid of us  as we are of them. Open Mind Gentlemen.

[mirth]

The problem is that I'm not afraid of the lesbian vampires at all.

[Staggerwing]

<SMH>  You agreed to let one of them in, didn't you?

[mirth]

That's going to be trouble, innit?

[Gusington]

Not for me.

One soul-sucking harpy per home, please.
