The Lords of Salem

By: Rob Zombie, B. K. Evenson

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

"The book offers a different experience from the film since it can obviously go into much more detail," says Rob Zombie. "The book and the film really complement each other."

From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie comes a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood...

The Lords of Salem

Heidi Hawthorne is a thirty-seven-year-old FM radio DJ and a recovering drug addict. Struggling with her newfound sobriety and creeping depression, Heidi suddenly receives an anonymous gift at the station-a mysteriously shaped wooden box branded with a strange symbol. Inside the box is a promotional record for a band that identifies themselves only as The Lords. There is no other information.

She decides to play it on the radio show as a joke, and the moment she does, horrible things begin to happen. The strange music awakens something evil in the town. Soon enough, terrifying murders begin to happen all around Heidi. Who are The Lords? What do they want?

As old bloodlines are awakened and the bodies start to pile up, only one thing seems certain: all hell is about to break loose.

Wow - wasted potential

I really wanted to loke this book but at the end all I felt was disappointed and it felt depressing as "hell". i suppose that was the desired effect no matter how stupid that desire is. Still even sticking to that result it could have been a much better story with just a little more imagination.

Anyone for a fresh pot of Tea ?

The book fills in the gaps from the movie, gives a more flushed out backstory for characters.
B.K Evans contributions really brings the horror to this tale, of a witch's revenge.
Erin Bennett kills it as the Narrator.
Zombie fan decently worth checking out.

Darkly Creepy

Definitely a great Halloween read if there ever was one. Rob Zombie doesn't disappoint here. The story was a bit dark and gruesomein some places but overall a great fun read. It might be disturbing to some, but it definitely is better than the movie. And, there are a few twists that keep you firmly glued to the story.

the end

I know the topic might seem overdone but in the dead-ass fashion of the author, it made its point, directly into my brain. I had high expectations for this book. they were met at the end. I felt some pretty vivid emotions after i finished. I'm not going to lie, there is a couple spots where it seemed to be filler but I was engrossed. glad I got to experiance this book.

Dissapointed

Story was lacking in vital details and overboard on junk details. Story line and setting was good, but details were not.
