Hodder & Stoughton 'Salem'S Lot : Fiftieth Anniversary Classic Edition With A Introduction By Joe Hill (A Stephen King Classic)

Following the successful launch of our new Classic King range with CARRIE, comes a beautiful hardback edition of King's second published novel, 'SALEM'S LOT, produced for the fiftieth Anniversary with a new introduction by Joe Hill. '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 . . .
