Now Is Not the Time to Panic was great and I swear it was about the small American town I grew up in. I can’t believe how well the writer captured what it was like being in a small town during the Satanic panic.
‘Salem’s Lot by Stephen King is more than just a vampire story, it is an incredible portrait of a small Maine mill town.
