5.0 out of 5 starsIMO best horror novel ever written
By Simon Edwards on 28 Jun. 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I remember going through my dad's VHS drawer (these were the days before DVD's came out - never mind Blu-Rays) and one VHS caught my eye like no other. It was `Salem's Lot, based on the novel by some guy I'd never heard of called Stephen King (I was only twelve). I begged my dad to let me watch it, but he said it would scare me. When I had done my best impression of Bart Simpson ("Dad can I watch `Salem's Lot?) over and over again, he finally gave in and I sat down to watch it. It was an old film but that didn't bother me. I was captivated by the settings and the scenes and the brilliant acting by the likes of David Soul. But this is a review on the novel and not on the film.

I had recently read Carrie and I wanted to read more Stephen King, based on how much I had loved the `Salem's Lot film. I saved up my pocket money for a few months and went into town and brought about seven books by Stephen King, one of them being `Salem's Lot. I had no idea what I was in for, but as soon as I sat down and read the first page, I knew I was in for one of the greatest literary journeys I had ever been on.

This was only King's second novel, but already he had let his talent grow and he allowed himself to reach higher levels and pass boundaries he had limited himself to on Carrie. The novel had more depth and more structure to it. It was a real whirlwind of both character development and story.

The novel's main character is Ben Mears who comes back to his hometown of `Salem's Lot, Maine, to write a novel based on a house he went into as a child that haunted him up to this day. He finds that the house has been brought by two strange figures - a man named Straker, and mysterious entity that no one has seen known as Barlow.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGenius!
By Countess Dracula on 10 Mar. 2017
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I love Stephen King and this book is just fantastic, I highly recommend. Stephen is truly the "king" of the horror genre! His vampires are very adequate and are the way vampires should be. Beautifully written book!

4.0 out of 5 starsGood
By Sarah Tilsley on 24 Nov. 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book. It was good, but not great. I think at times there was too much description and not enough action, but overall a good novel that I was recommend. I enjoyed the short story at the end and the bits of the novel that were cut out. It made for a interesting read and just helped to bring the book to a close nicely.

The story is good. The book was advertised as being in very good condition, this is far from the truth.

I've read the book before, 30 odd years ago but it's still a cracker. I'd recommend all of Stephen King's books anyway.

1.0 out of 5 starsGreat book, publisher abysmal

Go elsewhere for this book as this was bordering on unreadable at times. So frustrating. No way should this be available with so many grammatical errors.

3.0 out of 5 starsA good book, but it dragged a lot

I wish I could give this more than 3 stars. I mean, it's one of King's most famous books that has been given high praise by most people. But it was just okay to me. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars‘Salem’s Lot was a great little read

‘Salem’s Lot was a great little read, and while it is quite clearly inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, King doesn’t exactly hide that Stoker’s work was an influence. Read more

5.0 out of 5 starsThe greatest vampire novel

This novel is superb , firstly the detailed description of this small town/village, then all the characters in it, which reappear throughout the novel often in vampire form! Read more

4.0 out of 5 starsBetter than Bram Stoker - but where was the copy editor?

Still among the best of Stephen King's novels, although you can tell it was an early one. I expect I'm being persnickety about English usage but it's irritating and distracting to... Read more

Not great. The picture was different and it was pretty poor quality.
