Vampires

'Salem's Lot

by Stephen King

When writer Ben Mears returns to his childhood town of Jerusalem's Lot to pen a novel, he finds the sleepy New England community shadowed by something ancient and malevolent. As townsfolk begin to vanish and change, a creeping vampire plague transforms neighbors into nightmares. King's second novel remains a landmark of American horror, marrying small-town Gothic dread with visceral supernatural terror.
