Salem's Lot

Part Three: THE DESERTED VILLAGE

I heard a voice crying from the deep:

Come join me baby, in my endless sleep.

-Old rock ‘n’ roll song

And travelers now within that valley

Through the red-litten windows see

Vast forms that move fantastically

To a discordant melody;

While, like a rapid ghastly river,

Through the pale door,

A hideous throng rush out forever

And laugh-but smile no more.

-Edgar Allen Poe

The Haunted Palace

Tell you now that the whole town is empty.

-Bob Dylan
