50 years ago today, Stephen King published his second novel, 'SALEM'S LOT--set in a seemingly ordinary small town haunted by extraordinary evil.

📚 First released in 1975, it further cemented King’s place in literature and reimagined the vampire myth as creatures who haunt our nightmares😱. Filled with unforgettable scenes--from book to screen--it's been adapted again and again, and continues to serve as inspiration for vampire lore🩸. To commemorate this literary milestone, we are thrilled to update the new illustrated cover edition to include an introduction from author of HEART SHAPED BOX and THE BLACK PHONE.

Available now where most books are sold.
