Description
Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem’s Lot hoping the town’s history — and the long-abandoned Marsten House in particular — will shake loose whatever’s blocking his next book. The house has just changed hands, bought by two newcomers named Straker and Barlow, and their arrival lines up with a boy going missing and his brother dying under circumstances nobody in town can explain. Stephen King’s second novel turns an ordinary small town into a vampire’s hunting ground one resident at a time, and it’s held up since 1975 as one of the genre’s genuinely frightening entries.
