What to expect

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...

Critics Review

Hugely impressive
Guardian
One of the few horror writers who can truly make the flesh creep
Sunday Express
Mr. King's gift of storytelling is unrivaled. His ferocious imagination is unlimited
George Pelecanos
[King is] ... the guy who probably knows more about scary goings-on in confined, isolated places than anybody since Edgar Allen Poe
Entertainment Weekly
Popular fiction's most prolific terror-monger's...genius remains in the conjuring of evil out of ephemera, of a malevolent universe lurking behind the Walmart shopping trolley banality of every day, small town America
The Times
