The title King originally chose for his book was Second Coming, but he later decided on Jerusalem's Lot.

King stated the reason being that his wife, novelist Tabitha King, thought the original title sounded too much like a "bad sex story". King's publishers then shortened it to the current title, thinking the author's choice sounded too religious. 'Salem's Lot has been adapted into a television mini-series twice, first in 1979 and then in 2004. It was also adapted by the BBC as a seven part radio play in 1995. The novel was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1976. In two separate interviews, King conceded that ‘Salem’s Lot was his personal favorite book of those which he has written.

In his 1983 Playboy Interview the interviewer mentioned that because it was his favorite, King was planning a sequel, but he has more recently stated on his website that since his Dark Tower series picked up the story already, in the novels “Wolves of The Calla” and "Song of Susanna," he felt there was no longer a need for one.[3] In 1987 he told Phil Konstantin in "The Highway Patrolman" magazine: "In a way it is my favorite story, mostly because of what it says about small towns. They are kind of a dying organism right now. The story seems sort of down home to me. I have a special cold spot in my heart for it!" [4] The book is dedicated to King's daughter Naomi: "For Naomi Rachel King . . . promises to keep." Ben Mears, a successful writer who grew up in the town of Jerusalem's Lot, Maine, has returned home after twenty-five years. Once in town he meets local high school teacher Matt Burke and strikes up a romantic relationship with Susan Norton, a young college graduate. Ben starts writing a book about the Marsten House, an abandoned mansion where he had a bad experience as a child.

Mears learns that the Marsten House--the former home of Depression-era hitman Hubert "Hubie" Marsten--has been purchased by Kurt Barlow, an Austrian immigrant who has arrived in the Lot to ostensibly open an antique store. Barlow is an apparent recluse; only his familiar, Richard Straker, is seen in public. The duo's arrival coincides with the disappearance of a young boy, Ralphie Glick, and the death of his brother Danny, who becomes the town's first vampire, infecting such locals as Mike Ryerson, Randy McDougall, Jack Griffen, and Danny's own mother, Marjorie Glick. Danny fails, however, to infect Mark Petrie, who resists him successfully. Over the course of several weeks almost all of the townspeople are infected. Ben Mears and Susan are joined by Matt Burke and his doctor, Jimmy Cody, along with young Mark Petrie and the local priest, Father Callahan, in an effort to fight the spread of the vampires, whose numbers increase as the new vampires infect their own families and others. Susan is captured by Barlow before Mark has a chance to rescue her.

Susan becomes a vampire, but is eventually staked through the heart by Mears, the man who loved her. Father Callahan is caught by Barlow at the Petrie house after Barlow kills Mark's parents, but does not infect them, so they are later given a clean burial. Barlow holds Mark hostage, but Father Callahan has the upper hand, securing Mark's release, agreeing to Barlow's demand that he toss aside his cross and face him on equal terms. However he delays throwing the cross aside and the once powerful religious symbol loses its strength until Barlow can not only approach Callahan but break the cross, now nothing more than two small pieces of plaster, into bits. Barlow says "Sad to see a man's faith fail him", then forces the helpless Callahan to drink blood from Barlow's neck. Callahan resists but cannot hold out forever and is forced to drink, leaving him trapped in a netherworld, as Barlow has left his mark. When Callahan tries to re-enter his church he receives an electric shock, preventing him from going inside. Callahan disappears forever from "the Lot".

Jimmy Cody is killed when he falls from a rigged staircase and is impaled by knives by the one-time denizens of Eva Miller's boarding house, Mears' one-time residence, who have now all become vampires. Matt Burke dies from a heart attack in the town hospital. Ben Mears and Mark Petrie succeed in destroying the master vampire Barlow, but are lucky to escape with their lives and are forced to leave the town to the now leaderless vampires. The novel's prologue, which is set shortly after the end of the story proper, describes the men's flight across the country to a seaside town in Mexico, where they stop to recover from their ordeal. Mark Petrie is received into the Catholic Church by a friendly local priest. The epilogue has the two returning to the town a year later, intending to renew the battle. Ben, knowing that there are too many hiding places for the town's vampires, sets the town on fire with the intent of destroying it and the Marsten House once and for all.

The 10 greatest Stephen King horror novels according to Goodreads The 10 greatest Stephen King horror novels according to Goodreads Pinterest Although dismissed by critics for much of his career—one New York Times review called him “a writer of fairly engaging and preposterous claptrap” — Stephen King is by any measure one of the greatest horror writers of all time. The author of fifty novels, nearly two hundred short stories and nine collections of short fiction, he is as productive as he is versatile. With so much fiction to choose from, it can be difficult to decide where to begin. Happily, help is at hand thanks to the online book community Goodreads . As of July this book lovers’ heaven had an incredible 20 million members, the vast majority of whom spend huge amounts of time reading and reviewing. One author who understandably gets lots of attention is Stephen King. Here’s his ten greatest horror hits according to the Goodreads five star rating system. 1.

The Stand – score: 4.3 The Stand might not be the first novel you think of when you contemplate horror, but this post-apocalyptic horror/fantasy, an expansion of King’s earlier short story “Night Surf”, is Goodreads’s top choice. First published in 1978 and later re-released in 1990 as The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition, it’s a genuine King masterpiece. Goodreads top review says: “You know what’s really scary? Getting sick while you’re reading the first part of The Stand. Just try running a fever, going through a box of tissues and guzzling the better part of a bottle of Theraflu while Stephen King describes the grisly deaths of almost everyone on Earth from a superflu. On top of feeling like crap, you’ll be terrified. Bonus!” 2. It – score: 4.06 Published in 1986, It is a horror novel in every sense of the word. Moving back and forth between 1958 and 1985, the story tells of seven children in a small Maine town who discover the source of a series of horrifying murders.

Having conquered the evil force once, they are summoned together 27 years later when the cycle begins again. The novel is famed for starring one of the scariest clowns in literature. Goodreads top review says: “This is a brilliant novel, beautifully told in crisp, clear prose, with truly unforgettable characters and situations. It is the essence of good fiction; the truth inside the lie. King knows his way around the corners; and has that undefinable look in the eye, the dreamy look of a child.” 3. The Shining – score: 4.03 This 1977 classic follows Jack Torrance, a recovering alcoholic and writer, and his family, through a terrifying winter as they care for a deserted Colorado hotel whose history is anything but bucolic. The title was apparently inspired by the John Lennon song “Instant Karma!”, which contained the line “We all shine on…” Originally conceived as a five-act tragedy play, the story evolved into a five-act novel that also included many of King’s own personal demons. In 1980, Stanley Kubrick’s film version became an instant cult classic.

Goodreads top review says : “While reading “The Shining,” I revisited my kid fears– as if walking through a bell-bottomed-shaped portal into the shag carpet of the seventies. King evoked my vulnerability and reminded me of what it felt like to be a powerless child in a universe where everybody is stronger and more experienced than I.” 4. Misery – score. 3.99 Published in 1988, the novel focuses on Paul Sheldon, a writer famous for Victorian-era romance novels involving the character of Misery Chastain. After an automobile accident, Paul meets his biggest fan, Annie Wilkes. His nurse-and captor, she wants Paul to write his greatest work just for her, and she will do whatever it takes to make this happen. Of the inspiration behind Annie, King once said, “There was never any question. Annie was my drug problem, and she was my number-one fan. God, she never wanted to leave.” Goodreads top review says: “I first read Misery when I was seventeen years old. I started it about eight o’clock that evening, and finished it about four in the morning.

Heart pounding, bleary eyed and afraid to open my closet door lest Annie Wilkes was waiting there for me with an axe or chainsaw raised over her head.” 5. Salem’s Lot – score. 3.91 Published in 1975, Salem’s Lot follows a writer named Ben Mears as he returns to the town where he lived as a boy, Jerusalem’s Lot, or ‘Salem’s Lot for short. To his dismay he discovers that the residents are all becoming vampires. The title King originally chose for the book was Second Coming, but he later decided on Jerusalem’s Lot, because his wife, novelist Tabitha King, thought the original title sounded too much like a “bad sex story”. In 1987 he told Phil Konstantin in The Highway Patrolman magazine: “In a way it is my favorite story, mostly because of what it says about small towns. They are kind of a dying organism right now. The story seems sort of down home to me.

I have a special cold spot in my heart for it!” Goodreads top review says: “Vampire stories have been around for a long time – But leave it to Stephen King to turn the terror up a notch, add a whole new layer to it. How? In addition to showing us the monsters of the night, he also brings into the picture the monsters and the darkness that are already with us, that live in the deep dark recesses of everyone’s soul.” 6. Duma Key – score. 3.87 The newest book on the list, Duma Key was published in 2008 and reached #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List. In the book, a construction site accident takes Edgar Freemantle’s right arm and scrambles his memory and his mind, leaving him enraged as he begins his rehabilitation in a beach house on Duma Key in Florida.

Goodreads top review says: “Duma Key is not just a novel for the fans, but a cathartic response from King over his near-death accident in 1999; no doubt he relived his agonizing recovery while writing about Freemantle, and yet it is because of this firsthand experience, that Duma Key feels much more personal and empathetic.” 7. The Dead Zone – score. 3.83 Dedicated to his son Owen, the Dead Zone features Johnny Smith, a young boy who is injured in an accident and enters a coma for nearly five years. When he emerges, he can see horrifying secrets but cannot identify all the details in his “dead zone”, an area of his brain that suffered permanent damage as the result of his accident. Goodreads review says: “I have been really surprised, especially as I read The Dead Zone, this isn’t more of a popular read, especially with King readers. Johnny Smith’s character and his ability were done very well. I really liked all of the characters, especially Johnny and his parents.” 8. Carrie – score 3.82 King’s first published novel, released in 1974, it revolves around “Carrie N.

White”, a shy high school girl who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who tease her, causing one of the worst disasters in American history in the process. It is one of the most frequently banned books in US schools. Goodreads review says: “This is one of those books where you’re just like, dude, how did you even come up with these thoughts? I mean, I think we take it all for granted now but honestly, this book is amazing. This novel was insane and fearless and obviously written by someone who had this story in him that needed to gush out like Carrie’s menstrual blood and crazy telekinetic angst. This is one of the books I think of when I get depressed about the idea of workshopped writing and the internal observing critic and all the rest of that limiting quality-control type stuff.” 9. Bag of Bones – score 3.79 Bag of Bones, published in 1998, focuses on an author who suffers severe writer’s block and delusions at an isolated lake house four years after the death of his wife. It’s a tale of grief and lost love’s enduring bonds, which went on to win the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel.

Goodreads top review says “Don’t get me wrong, I love IT and The Stand and the Gunslinger septulogy, all the crazy outlandish horror and fantasy that is SK’s bread and butter. But I adore Bag of Bones and think it is one of his absolute best. It’s very intimate, very down to earth, with the supernatural downplayed.” 10. Pet Sematary – score – 3.77 Released in 1983, it was later made into a film of the same name. The original idea came in 1978 when King was teaching at the University of Maine at Orono, and his family rented a house on a busy road in Orrington. The road claimed the lives of a number of pets, and the neighborhood children created a pet cemetery in a field near the Kings’ home. King wrote the novel based on their experiences, but feeling he had gone too far with the subject matter of the book, it became the first novel he “put away”. Goodreads top review says “The painful, hard thing about Stephen King’s writing is that so often, he takes something real, something that people can experience in the real world, and builds the supernatural stuff onto that.

In The Shining, there’s Jack’s alcoholism; in The Talisman, there’s Jack/Jason’s mother’s cancer; The Stand plays on our fears of something, somewhere, in one of those labs, getting out of control; in Pet Sematary, it’s the death of a child. So much of the book is completely real and believable.” Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more mind-blowing coolness.

Ben starts writing a book about the Marsten House, an abandoned house where he had a bad experience as a child. Mears learns that the Marsten House—the former home of Depression -era hitman Hubert “Hubie” Marsten—has been purchased by Kurt Barlow , an Austrian immigrant who has arrived in the Lot ostensibly to open a store. Barlow is on an extended buying trip; only his business partner, Richard Straker, is seen in public. The duo’s arrival coincides with the disappearance of a young boy, Ralphie Glick, and the death of his brother Danny, who becomes the town’s first vampire, infecting such locals as Mike Ryerson, Randy McDougall, Jack Griffen, and Danny’s own mother, Marjorie Glick. Danny fails, however, to infect Mark Petrie, who resists him successfully by holding a plastic cross in Danny’s face.

Within several weeks many of the townspeople are turned into vampires. Ben Mears and Susan are joined by Matt Burke and his doctor, Jimmy Cody, along with young Mark Petrie and the local priest, Father Callahan , in an effort to fight the spread of new vampires. Susan is captured by Barlow and made into a vampire, eventually being staked through the heart by Mears, the man who loved her. Mark’s parents are killed next, but Barlow does not infect them, so they are later given a clean burial. Barlow holds Mark and Father Callahan hostage, but Father Callahan has the upper hand, securing Mark’s release, agreeing to Barlow’s demand that he toss aside his cross and face him on equal terms. However he delays throwing the cross aside and the once powerful religious symbol loses its strength until Barlow can not only approach Callahan but break the cross, now nothing more than two small pieces of plaster, into bits. Barlow says “Sad to see a man’s faith fail him”, Callahan then has to drink blood from Barlow’s neck. Callahan resists but is forced to drink, leaving him in a netherworld, as Barlow has left his mark.

When Callahan tries to re-enter his church he receives an electric shock, preventing him from going inside. Callahan never goes near another church again. Jimmy Cody is killed when he falls from a rigged staircase and is impaled by knives set up by the one-time denizens of Eva Miller’s boarding house, Mears’ one-time residence, who have now all become vampires. Ben Mears and Mark Petrie succeed in destroying the master vampire Barlow, but are lucky to escape with their lives and are forced to leave the town to the now leaderless vampires. The novel’s prologue, which is set shortly after the end of the story proper, describes Ben and Mark’s flight across the country to a seaside town in Mexico, where they attempt to recover from their ordeal. Mark is received into the Catholic Church by a friendly local priest and confesses for the first time what they have experienced. The epilogue has the two returning to the town a year later, intending to renew the battle. Ben, knowing that there are too many hiding places for the vampires, deliberately starts a brush fire in the woods near the town with the intent of destroying it and the Marsten House once and for all.

Background While teaching a high school Fantasy and Science Fiction course at Hampden Academy , King was inspired by Dracula , one of the books covered in the class. “One night over supper I wondered aloud what would happen if Dracula came back in the twentieth century, to America. ‘He’d probably be run over by a Yellow Cab on Park Avenue and killed,’ my wife said. (In the Introduction to the 2004 audiobook recording that Stephen King read himself, he says it was he who said “Probably he’d land in New York and be killed by a Taxi Cab, like Margaret Mitchell in Atlanta”, and it was his wife who suggested a rural setting for the book. [6] ) That closed the discussion, but in the following days, my mind kept returning to the idea. It occurred to me that my wife was probably right — if the legendary Count came to New York , that is. But if he were to show up in a sleepy little country town, what then? I decided I wanted to find out, so I wrote ‘Salem’s Lot, which was originally titled Second Coming“.

[7] Though King initially planned to title the novel Second Coming, he changed it to Jerusalem’s Lot on the advice of his wife, novelist Tabitha King , who thought the original title sounded too much like a “bad sex story.” King’s publishers then shortened it to the current title, thinking the author’s choice sounded too religious. King’s paperback publisher bought the book for $550,000. King expands on this thought of the twentieth century vampire in his essay for Adeline Magazine, “On Becoming a Brand Name” (February 1980): “I began to turn the idea over in my mind, and it began to coalesce into a possible novel. I thought it would make a good one, if I could create a fictional town with enough prosaic reality about it to offset the comic-book menace of a bunch of vampires.” Yet the inspirations for ‘Salem’s Lot go back even farther. In Danse Macabre , a non-fiction overview of the modern horror genre, King recalls a dream he had when he was eight years old. In the dream, he saw the body of a hanged man dangling from the arm of a scaffold on a hill.

“The corpse bore a sign: ROBERT BURNS. But when the wind caused the corpse to turn in the air, I saw that it was my face – rotted and picked by birds, but obviously mine. And then the corpse opened its eyes and looked at me. I woke up screaming, sure that a dead face would be leaning over me in the dark. Sixteen years later, I was able to use the dream as one of the central images in my novel ‘Salem’s Lot. I just changed the name of the corpse to Hubie Marsten.” King first wrote of Jerusalem’s Lot in the short story “ Jerusalem’s Lot “, penned in college, but not published until years later in the short story collection Night Shift . In a 1969 installment of “The Garbage Truck”, a column King wrote for the University of Maine at Orono ‘s campus newspaper, King foreshadowed the coming of ‘Salem’s Lot by writing: “In the early 1800s a whole sect of Shakers , a rather strange, religious persuasion at best, disappeared from their village (Jeremiah’s Lot) in Vermont .

The town remains uninhabited to this day.” [8] Politics during the time influenced King’s writing of the story. The corruption in the government was a significant factor in the inspiration of the story. Of this he recalls, I wrote ‘Salem’s Lot during the period when the Ervin committee was sitting. That was also the period when we first learned of the Ellsberg break-in, the White House tapes , the connection between Gordon Liddy and the CIA , the news of enemies lists, and other fearful intelligence. During the spring, summer and fall of 1973, it seemed that the Federal Government had been involved in so much subterfuge and so many covert operations that, like the bodies of the faceless wetbacks that Juan Corona was convicted of slaughtering in California , the horror would never end… Every novel is to some extent an inadvertent psychological portrait of the novelist, and I think that the unspeakable obscenity in ‘Salem’s Lot has to do with my own disillusionment and consequent fear for the future. In a way, it is more closely related to Invasion of the Body Snatchers than it is to Dracula .

The fear behind ‘Salem’s Lot seems to be that the Government has invaded everybody.

The book was printed on 100# Mohawk Superfine paper, it measured 9 by 13 inches (23 cm × 33 cm), was over 4 1⁄4 in (108 mm) thick, and weighed more than 13 pounds (5.9 kg). The book included a ribbon marker, head and tail bands, three-piece cloth construction, and a slipcase. An unsigned hardcover edition limited to 600 copies, was later released. Both the signed and unsigned editions were sold out. [10] A trade edition was later released.

Critical reception In the short story anthology, A Century of Great Suspense Stories, editor Jeffery Deaver noted that King …singlehandedly made popular fiction grow up. While there were many good best-selling writers before him, King, more than anybody since John D. MacDonald , brought reality to genre novels. He’s often remarked that ‘Salem’s Lot was ‘ Peyton Place meets Dracula,’ and so it was. The rich characterization, the careful and caring social eye, the interplay of story line and character development announced that writers could take worn themes such as vampirism and make them fresh again. [11] Adaptations ‘Salem’s Lot was adapted for television twice. The 1979 version starring David Soul as Ben Mears was nominated for three primetime Emmys and an Edgar Award . [12] In 2004, TNT premiered a two-part movie version of ‘Salem’s Lot starring Rob Lowe , which received a primetime Emmy nomination. [13] In 1987, Larry Cohen directed A Return to Salem’s Lot . [14] The novel was also adapted as a radio drama on BBC 4 in 1995.

There is no physical proof of what is really going on, though, so most people in the town and in the neighboring towns are simply Fustered. They look for non-supernatural explanations for the missing persons and odd occurrences. Eventually, a coalition forms of people who believe in the vampires. They plot to stop the vampires. The coalition includes Ben Mears, Susan Norton, Mark Petrie, Matt Burke, Jimmy Cody, and ±ather Callahan. Susan is caught by Barlow and becomes a vampire. Ben later has to drive a stake through her heart. Matt, who is a schoolteacher and a new friend of Ben's, dies from a heart attack. Jimmy Cody, Matt's physician and former student, dies in a booby trap set up by the vampires. ±ather Callahan is "marked" as Barlow's by being forced to drink Barlow's blood. He escapes by leaving town on a bus. Ben and Mark survive and kill Barlow by driving a stake through his heart. They leave town and end up in Los Zapatos in Mexico.

After almost a year, however, they come back to the town during the day when the vampires are sleeping. A draught has made the grass there very dry. Ben deliberately drops a lit cigarette into the grass, where it starts a ²re that begins to spread and presumably later consumes the town. #2 'Salem's Lot is a 1975 horror fiction novel written by the American author Stephen King .
