Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR • In Stephen King’s iconic second novel, “an undisputed master of suspense and terror” (The Washington Post) transformed the horror genre with a vision of evil that descends upon a small New England town.
Ben Mears has returned to Jerusalem’s Lot in hopes that exploring the history of the Marsten House, an old mansion long the subject of rumor and speculation, will help him cast out his personal devils and provide inspiration for his new book.
But when two young boys venture into the woods, and only one returns alive, Mears begins to realize that something sinister is at work. In fact, his hometown is under siege from forces of darkness far beyond his imagination. And only he, with a small group of allies, can hope to contain the evil that is growing within the borders of ’Salem’s Lot.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this Stephen King classic, vampires don’t speak like 19th-century dandies—they’re just straight-up terrifying. Struggling writer Ben Mears returns to his boyhood hometown in Maine with an idea for a book about an eerie house that’s creeped him out since he was a kid. Austrian antiques dealer Kurt Barlow now owns the place, and he turns out to have a nasty habit of sucking the townspeople’s blood and turning them into his undead minions. In only his second published novel, King’s inimitable style is already fully formed. His eye for vivid details makes this small-town Americana take on the Dracula story feel like it’s unfolding right in front of our eyes, while the conversational dialogue makes the whole thing feel a little too plausible. If you like creepy, you’ll love ’Salem’s Lot.
