Salem’s Lot
In the quiet town of Jerusalem’s Lot, something ancient is stirring.
When writer Ben Mears returns to his childhood hometown, he’s looking for peace and inspiration. Instead, he finds shadows growing long over the town, and people beginning to disappear. At the center of it all is the Marsten House, a decaying mansion with a terrible history...and a new occupant who doesn’t come out during the day.
’Salem’s Lot is King’s take on the vampire myth, but it’s more than blood and coffins; it’s about how evil spreads in silence, feeding on fear, denial, and isolation. Creeping, gothic, and methodical, this is one of King’s most terrifying works and a cornerstone of his haunted universe.
