About this listen
Don't miss King's #1 chilling classic, now a major motion picture from Warner Bros. Pictures.
'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...

Vietnam and vampires
I read On Writing and King daid something about Salem's Lot being a story about the US coming to terms with the aftermath of the Vietnam War. That isn't central to SL, but it's a great listen nonetheless. It's more modern day Dracula. The narration is great. Enjoy.

Classic horror at its best
I read this book in high school - a long time ago - and it was a favourite of mine.
Listening to it was really enjoyable and the narrator was excellent. I really liked his voice and it was delivered well.

Great Vampire tale
It's taken me years to get round to reading this but it was well worth the wait. King builds our knowledge of the town and it's people before ripping into it with a blood thirsty rage. Great narration too.

Good as they all are
Perhaps problematic in tiny pieces all these years later. Still so good, I guess classic King; verbose and indulgent at times.

Engaging story, great performance
This scary vampire tale unfolds easily and is enjoyable to hear read aloud. The small-town characters are entertaining.

A story to drive with.
I listened to this driving long kms. each week and even though it's dated as purported by the author, it remains a classic, specifically a Stephen King classic.
The narrator reads with empathy and interest in the story.

It kept me awake
So creepy in an old school horror way. King always delivers but goes just a bit too far 😂😂😂
