'Salem's Lot cover

A superb novel set in classic Stephen King territory - a small new England town about to be engulfed by terror.

Wake up the new reader and shake up the existing reader - between Spring 2021 and Autumn 2024 Hodder is reissuing groups of Stephen King's books in a wonderful new livery. 'SALEM'S LOT is a CHILLING CLASSIC set in prime Stephen King territory - a small new England town about to be engulfed in terror.

Don't miss King's #1 chilling classic, now a major motion picture from Warner Bros. Pictures. Available in cinemas (UK and Germany) or stream on MAX from October 2024.

'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...
