NOW A NEW FILM STREAMING ON MAX • #1 BESTSELLER • 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. • With an introduction by Joe Hill

"A master storyteller." —The Los Angeles Times

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 this small New England town.

With this, his second novel, Stephen King established himself as an indisputable master of American horror, able to transform the old conceits of the genre into something fresh and all the more frightening for taking place in a familiar, idyllic locale.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A master storyteller." --The Los Angeles Times

“[King is] . . . the guy who probably knows more about scary goings-on in confined, isolated places than anybody since Edgar Allan Poe.” —Entertainment Weekly

“[The] most wonderfully gruesome man on the planet.” —USA Today
“Stephen King has built a literary genre of putting ordinary people in the most terrifying situations. . . . he’s the author who can always make the improbable so scary you'll feel compelled to check the locks on the front door.” —The Boston Globe

“’Salem’s Lot was—and still is—a hugely impressive novel. . . . It’s the slowest of slow burns, all hints and drip-feed. . . . When the chaos finally unfolds, it’s a real payoff.” —The Guardian (London)

"Spine-tingling fiction at its best." --Grand Rapids Press

"An unabashed chiller." --Austin American Statesman

“A novel of chilling, unspeakable evil.” —Chattanooga Times

I have forgotten how well written this book was. Stephen King is a master of imagination.
Our worst fears and desires are made manifest.
Love his writing. This was the first book I read of his way back in the day. I’m glad I listened to it again.

Still as creepy as ever

Stephen King is unparalleled when it comes to crafting a story you can really sink your teeth into, Salem’s Lot is another example of this.
The story moves a little quick in some parts, but the characters are well developed and they continue to grow throughout the entirety of the book.
His attention to detail is definitely apparent in any of King’s work and this is one of many reasons I will continue to pursue his works in the future.
A great story to get lost in with an ending that doesn’t make a person feel as if they were left with any ‘what if’ or ‘then what happened?’ moments.

This generation’s greatest novelist

This was an excellent book that pulls no punches, it tackles some very dark and disturbing subject matter but I was always eager to keep going. It had fantastic narration, it was very easy to follow and the main cast of characters were superb, maybe a few too many side characters though. If I had a criticism it would be that the concept and setup are a lot more interesting than the execution of those ideas.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of horror novels.

Great read

I know this is blasphemy for some, but I felt it was kind of boring! Don't get me wrong, it was a good story, but as far as a horror story goes, almost none of the kills were described! They almost all took place in the novel equivalent of 'off screen'. I want to hear details of how the vampires kill people! isn't that the whole point?? I still enjoyed this, I just wish it was a bit more descriptive of all the scary stuff.

slightly overrated
