'Salem's Lot
‘Salem’s Lot by Stephen King. New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1975. Book club edition.
‘Salem’s Lot is perhaps the best-known vampire tale of the twentieth century (rivaled only by Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire). Stephen King’s second novel, it was nominated for the World Fantasy Award in 1976, and later for the Locus All-Time Best Fantasy Novel (1987). King has stated on record that ‘Salem’s Lot is his personal favorite of all of his books, and it is not hard to see why. It is a moving and haunting horror tale exploring the death of the American small town. King finds a powerful metaphor in the vampire for dramatizing rural decay in the wake of urban growth: an old world monster thriving in the already-forgotten parts of the new.
A very good copy in original dust jacket. Some soiling to top edge of text block. Shelf-wear and toning to spine and edges of very good dust jacket. Protected with mylar.
