'Salem's Lot

a chilling classic from the No. 1 bestseller

De: Stephen King

Narrado por: Ron McLarty

Don't miss King's #1 chilling classic, now a major motion picture from Warner Bros. Pictures. Available in cinemas (UK and Germany) or stream on MAX from October 2024.

'Salem's Lot is a small New England town with white clapboard houses, tree-lined streets and solid church steeples. Of course there are tales of strange happenings - but no more than in any other such town.

Ben Mears has returned to the Lot to write a novel and exorcise the terrors that have haunted him since childhood - since the event he witnessed at the Marsten House.

He finds the house has been rented by a newcomer, a man who causes Ben some unease. And then things start to happen: a child disappears, a dog is brutally killed - nothing unusual, except the list keeps growing...©1975 Stephen King

Reseñas de la Crítica

Hugely impressive

One of the few horror writers who can truly make the flesh creep

Mr. King's gift of storytelling is unrivaled. His ferocious imagination is unlimited (George Pelecanos)

[King is] ... the guy who probably knows more about scary goings-on in confined, isolated places than anybody since Edgar Allen Poe

Popular fiction's most prolific terror-monger's...genius remains in the conjuring of evil out of ephemera, of a malevolent universe lurking behind the Walmart shopping trolley banality of every day, small town America

Good Story, but plot was hard to follow at times

I didn't feel as captivated by this story as usual, probably because there seemed to be several main characters and it took a while for the plot to thicken/come together. It was a unique story, which is why I felt compelled to read from beginning to end. The imagery was good and once it picked up it was intriguing. Not one of my favourite Stephen King books but definitely don't regret reading it.

Took a long time to get her, but we’ll worth it!

Nearly 50 years since it was written, but holds up well. Listening in the dark makes it better!

Superb writing!

This had me looking out the windows with dread everytime I go out in the middle of the night to use the bathroom

King’s Quiet Masterpiece

Easily one of Kings strongest titles. Featuring a bit more creativity and experimentation due to being so early in his career. The Lot is such a fresh experience as both a fan of King and also in the overly gore orientated horror landscape of today. The Lot is a beautifully dark and atmospherically oppressive story about the death of a town and those that stand against it. Shorter than much of his work and an solute joy from start to finish.

A great listen

This classic story is written in typical Stephen King style and holds your interest throughout with an excellent ending. Narration is very well done also.
