'Salem's Lot

When writer Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem’s Lot to confront memories of his childhood, he discovers that a sinister presence has taken hold: a mysterious newcomer, Kurt Barlow, is revealed to be a vampire, and the townspeople are falling victim to his growing influence.

As fear spreads and the line between the living and the undead blurs, a small group of residents bands together to fight the ancient evil. Stephen King masterfully combines suspense, horror, and psychological tension, creating a story that explores both the supernatural and the hidden darkness in ordinary life. ’Salem’s Lot remains a classic of modern horror, blending terror with a keen sense of place and unforgettable characters.
