This week we bid adieu to the burned corpse of a town that is 'Salem's Lot. It's our overview episode and Matt and Scott talk about their issues with Ben Mears, the depiction of alcoholism in the 70s, and then answer some terrible discussion questions from Schmoop!  Note: We originally planned to answer your mailbag questions this week, but due to our schedules we had to record this episode early and were unable to meet up again to answer your questions before the release date. We'll be answering your questions on next week's episode! Next week we'll be reading and discussing the two short stories related to 'Salem's Lot: Jerusalem's Lot and One for the Road, both part of King's Night Shift short story collection  Check out the show schedule:  https://tinyurl.com/yxa7lojv Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/doofmedia Stay updated with Kingslingers: @Kingslingerspod Message us at kingslingerspod@gmail.com Original music created by Matt Freeman: https://soundcloud.com/the-daly-planet/kingslingers-intro-ka-tet Cover artwork created by Cyrix: https://www.reddit.com/user/CyrixDrawsStuff
