For my "blog book" I am reading Night Shift, by Stephen King. Night Shift is a horror novel that contains several different short stories ranging from things like ghosts and goblins to bloodsucking vampires.
At first I was hesitant to read this book because I absolutely hate horror movies, so it only made sense that I wouldn't like a horror novel. When my sister finally convinced me to pick it up for a read I found that it was actually very enjoyable.
I read the first short story "Jerusalem's Lot" and it was definitely fun to read. It had some elements that made it scary but mostly I didn't find it scary, I found it interesting to read.

"Jerusalem's Lot" from Night Shift is written in the form of a series of letters and is about a man named Charles Boone and his best friend Calvin McCann who moved to the town of Chapelwaite, the former home of Boone's cousin, Stephen. Boone was reluctant to move there at first knowing of the tragic fates that were met at the house. His home at Chapelwaite seemed regular at first and life progressed normally. That is, until Calvin claimed he heard noises of rats inside of the walls and found a map to a.n abandoned town called Jerusalem's Lot in the library. Further inspection of the noises and town to a horrible curse of the Boone family line.
If you enjoy all things horror then I think you should definitely read this book. It has been great so far and I'm only past the first three chapters. If you are going to read this book, I wish you luck, and I hope you wish me the same.
In the future, I hope this book will have more stories such as "Jerusalem's Lot": Stories that have the label of a scary story, but only has a reasonable amount to the extent that even me, a huge wuss, can still enjoy them. All in all, this story was very promising, and built up my expectations for the book in the future.
In case you didn't know, one of the stories in this book is called "Children of the Corn", and this story actually has a movie. However, Rotten Tomatoes and Imbd seem to have given it quite a low rating. But if you are still interested in this movie then click this link:
