Writer Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem’s Lot, the small Maine town where he spent part of his childhood, hoping to confront an unsettling memory and find inspiration for a new book. His attention soon turns to the long-abandoned Marsten House and its mysterious new owner.
As people begin disappearing and others fall strangely ill, Ben realizes something dangerous has taken hold of the town. An ancient evil is spreading from neighbour to neighbour, transforming the familiar streets of Jerusalem’s Lot into a place where darkness brings far more than an empty road.
‘Salem’s Lot brings the vampire story into small-town America, combining supernatural horror with the fears, secrets, and relationships of an isolated community.
