Story
Jack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he'll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote...and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

Story
When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic, rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Yet despite Ludlow's tranquility, there's an undercurrent of danger that lingers...like the graveyard in the woods near the Creeds' home, where generations of children have buried their beloved pets.

Story
Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

Story
Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

Story
Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made 28 years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Story
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Publisher's Summary
#1 BESTSELLER • Soon to be a new major motion picture • Writer Ben Mears has returned to his childhood home of 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.
Writer Ben Mears has returned to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot with the hope that moving into a delapidated mansion, long the subject of town lore, might help him get a handle on his life and provide inspiration for a new book. But when two young boys venture into the woods and only one comes out alive, Mears begins to realize that there may be something sinister at work.
In time, he comes to understand that his hometown is under siege from forces of darkness far beyond his wildest imagination. And only he, with a small group of allies, can hope to contain the evil that is tearing the town apart.

What the critics say
“A master storyteller.” (The Los Angeles Times)
“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)
“[The] most wonderfully gruesome man on the planet.” (USA Today)
Editorial Review
One of his first was Salem’s Lot, which was originally released in 1975. The story has gone through many iterations, including TV shows, mini-series, and the like, and is now available as an audiobook. King uses his signature style to amplify and build tension throughout the story, pulling on themes of horror in a small-town setting fighting against vampires. Salem’s Lot has all the hallmarks of a perfect thriller and is a masterful display of storytelling.
Narrator Ron McLarty brings this creepy story to life in an impeccable performance. His tone and style are well suited to King, and he builds suspense and tension in all the right places. His reading will leave listeners on the edge of their seats, dying to know what happens next. McLarty is a seasoned narrating professional who has voiced works by other literary giants such as Neil Gaiman, Hunter S. Thompson, and David Baldacci. This reading is just as triumphant as the rest and showcases his narration talents and skill. He even manages to swap between characters such as Kurt Barlow, Ben Mears, and Richard K Straker with ease.
Stephen King audiobooks bring his works to life. His writing is careful and nuanced, and the atmosphere and tone of the story are only enhanced by being told out loud. King and McLarty both have a knack for thrillers and spin a gripping, tense story. This vampire novel will pull listeners in and not let go until the very end. Audiences will be hooked, entertained, and downright scared by the level of horror and fear both King and McLarty generate. The result is a horror novel that has stood the test of time and spawned many a King fan. This classic King novel is still one of the best and scariest horror books of the modern age. It is a must-add to any scary story wishlist and is one of the great books of its genre.
Featured Article: Stephen King’s 32 Best Audiobooks: The Definitive List

A Terrifying tale of Evil
In an age of sexy vampires (twilight saga and sookie stackhouse series) it’s a treat to revisit an era where vampires were truly terrifying. Stephen King’s book examines the effect of Introducing Evil with a capital E in a small town and he is able to capture the feeling of despair that our protagonists experience. Ron McLarty’s narration truly brings those tense feelings to life!
All in all an enjoyable experience from the forward to the epilogue.

One of King's Spookiest.
After close to five decades since it was first published, Salem's Lot holds up to high standards as a well-crafted horror novel, replete with fascinating characters, a scary story line and all the talent Stephen King could pack into one novel. To make it all the better, Ron McClarty's narration brings this excellent book to life.

Great, but not King's scariest work
While this was an enjoyable read I would say that it's on the weaker end in terms of King-scariness. Well written and definitely still spooky but at no point was there any legitimate terror. I was looking for terrifying so that's the only downside.

This generation’s greatest novelist
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.
