“The town knew about darkness. It knew about the darkness that comes on the land when rotation hides the land from the sun, and about the darkness of the human soul. The town is an accumulation of three parts which, in sum, are greater than the sections. The town is the people who live there, the buildings which they have erected to den or do business in, and it is the land.”
— Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot
few notes:
Barlow is described as white but I didn’t imagine him that way due to: his age, the way he describes watching colonialism in action, and his dark hair in combination with his nose and face shape. He’s ashy because he’s a vampire. I don’t usually draw brown people that way.
Father Callahan’s robe patterns are largely made up by me because searching for old-school vestments brings up a lot of results that vary wildly in the symbology used. I just combined some common attributes.
Straker gets a bow tie because I wanted him to kind of look like a butler, being Barlow’s familiar and all.
