ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

'Salem's Lot', by Stephen King, tells the story of Ben Mears, a writer who returns to his childhood town of Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine, seeking to confront his past and write a new book. However, his arrival coincides with the appearance of a mysterious antique dealer, Richard Straker, and his silent partner, who is later revealed as the vampire Kurt Barlow. As strange occurrences begin, and people start disappearing, the town slowly realizes that an ancient evil has taken root. The story follows the townspeople as they grapple with the sinister forces that are turning their community into a hunting ground for vampires, exploring themes of horror, fear, and the battle between good and evil. The narrative focuses on the town's descent into chaos and the struggle of a small group of people to fight back against a seemingly unstoppable threat.
