Salem’s Lot

Ben Mears, a successful writer, returns to his childhood hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot (locally known as Salem’s Lot) in search of inspiration — and to confront the traumatic memories of his youth.

What he finds is a town wrapped in an eerie stillness. People are disappearing. Strange lights flicker in the abandoned Marsten House on the hill. And then… the missing begin to return.

But they are no longer human.

Stephen King’s second published novel is a masterwork of gothic horror — a terrifying tale of ancient evil, small-town secrets, and the relentless spread of darkness. It is a chilling exploration of fear, belief, and the thin line between the living and the undead.
