Summary

This week we conclude Part 1 of 'Salem's Lot by discussing Chapter 6: The Lot (II) and Chapter 7: Matt! We chat about one of King's best horror scenes, the charming friendship between Ben and Matt, and how King's view on alcoholism has evolved over time.

Discussion Question: Name your favorite use of keeping something scary by not showing it.

Next week we'll be reading and discussing Chapters 8 and 9!
