A Haunting Tale of Vampires, Small Town Secrets, and Eternal Darkness
First published in 1975, ’Salem’s Lot cemented Stephen King’s reputation as a master of modern horror. When writer Ben Mears returns to his childhood town of Jerusalem’s Lot, he hopes to find inspiration for his next novel. Instead, he discovers something far darker — a creeping evil that transforms the quiet Maine community into a nightmare of the undead.
Equal parts vampire gothic, psychological thriller, and small-town tragedy, ’Salem’s Lot remains one of King’s most terrifying and enduring works — a novel that captures the suffocating dread of evil hiding in plain sight.
With a new film adaptation recently released and renewed fan interest, this vintage edition stands as both a collector’s gem and a cornerstone of horror fiction.
