Featured in our reading guide: Where to Start with Stephen King
by Stephen King
In Stephen King's second novel, a vision of evil descends on a small New England town. Ben Mears has returned to Jerusalem's Lot in hopes that exploring the history of the Marsten House, an old mansion long the subject of rumor and speculation, will help him cast out his personal devils and provide inspiration for his new book. But when two young boys venture into the woods, and only one returns alive, Mears begins to realize that something sinister is at work. His hometown is under siege from forces of darkness far beyond his imagination. And only he, with a small group of allies, can hope to contain the evil that is growing within the borders of 'Salem's Lot.

A master storyteller.
The Los Angeles Times
-
[King is]... the guy who probably knows more about scary goings-on in confined, isolated places than anybody since Edgar Allan Poe.
Entertainment Weekly
-
[The] most wonderfully gruesome man on the planet.
USA Today
-
Stephen King has built a literary genre of putting ordinary people in the most terrifying situations... he's the author who can always make the improbable so scary you'll feel compelled to check the locks on the front door.
