What book is that?

[demorgan]

I was listeing to SK discussing his 10 longest books(i forgot where) and at some point he mentioned a book(while discussing under the dome) that he had read that was by a new author(maybe), and he described it as a cross between THE STAND and SALEM'S LOT. I was wondering if anyone knows the author and the book. I wanted to make a note of it to make sure that I picked it up. Help, if you can. Thanks

Yes, but for the life of me I can't remember what/who it is. I'll have to ask him.

The Passage by Justin Cronin

I'm not sure I spelled his name right.

I think the book you are looking for is The Passage from Justin Cronin. At least Stephen King mentioned this book while talking about his ten longest novels (more precisely about Insomnia) at the interview with TIME.

That's true. Stephen King has said that, too.
