One For The Road a vampire short story

Well here's a short story by Stephen King involving vampires in the state of Maine. This short story is basically an extension of the vampire novel King wrote called Salem's Lot which in turn was his attempt to place Bram Stoker's Dracula in the United States during the 1970s in Maine. It's one of King's better works and is recommendable for an autumn read in the late hours of the day with crisp October air creeping into your room.

Father Brown 2 dramatized short mysteries

I've always had mixed feelings about Father Brown. He's a religious man who believes in mystical and faithful things yet uses science and reason to a degree. There are parts I like about the character and stories and some parts I really walk-away thinking "This character is weak compared to Sherlock Holmes and most of his solving is done through feelings and hunches it seems". One reason I'm posting these two short-mysteries is because the BBC did them back in the 1980s and of course they are very well done. Another aspect is the historical time period. I find the late 19th century and decades before WW2 interesting in terms of back-story and characters and settings.
