'Salem's Lot - Paperback

by Stephen King — Introduction by Joe Hill

A small New England town. A house on the hill that no one speaks of. And a darkness that has been waiting, patient and hungry, for someone to come home.

Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem's Lot hoping to confront old ghosts and find inspiration for his next novel. What he finds instead is something far older and far worse than memory. When a child goes missing in the woods and the town's residents begin to change — hollow-eyed, restless after dark — Mears and a small circle of allies must face an evil that has quietly taken root at the heart of their community.

"A master storyteller." — The Los Angeles Times

With his second novel, Stephen King cemented his place as the defining voice of American horror — transforming a classic archetype into something intimate, suffocating, and deeply unsettling. Now a major film streaming on Max.
