Description

Following the successful launch of our new Classic King range with Carrie, comes a beautiful hardback edition of King's second published novel, 'Salem's Lot produced for the fiftieth Anniversary with a new introduction by Joe Hill.

'Salem's Lot is a small New England town with white clapboard houses, tree-lined streets and solid church steeples. Of course there are tales of strange happenings—but no more than in any other such town.

Ben Mears has returned to the Lot to write a novel and exorcise the terrors that have haunted him since childhood—since the event he witnessed at the Marsten House.

He finds the house has been rented by a newcomer, a man who causes Ben some unease. And then things start to happen: a child disappears, a dog is brutally killed—nothing unusual, except the list keeps growing...
