Sinossi
Una casa abbandonata, un paesino sperduto, vampiri assetati di sangue. Quando il giovane Stephen King decise di trapiantare Bram Stoker nel New England sapeva che la sua idea, nonostante le apparenze, era buona, ma forse neanche la sua fervida immaginazione avrebbe saputo dire quanto. Era il 1975 e, da allora, il racconto dell'avvento del Male a Jerusalem's Lot, meglio conosciuta come 'salem's Lot, non ha mai cessato di terrorizzare milioni di lettori, consacrando il suo autore come maestro dell'horror. Questo piccolo classico contemporaneo viene ora riproposto in un'edizione illustrata arricchita da una nuova introduzione, due racconti e un sostanzioso apparato che raccoglie le pagine eliminate nella stesura finale.

I am so nostalgically looking back to a better time when certain fantasy creatures were still true monsters and not twinkling, soft, freaking feeling emo snobs. Somehow the Lovecraftian, subtle, rising horror aspect King was so strong at the beginning of his career diminished over the years and ther Leggi tutto
‘ The town kept its secrets, and the Marsten House brooded over it like a ruined king. ’ Stephen King is a master of weaving together the narrative of a community with the aesthetics of horror. It’s part of what makes him so truly frightening: his horrors lurk in every day realities and often the commu Leggi tutto
From the 1979 movie version of Salem’s Lot ”It would be years before I would hear Alfred Bester’s axiom ‘the book is the boss,’ but I didn’t need to; I learned it for myself writing the novel that eventually became Salem’s Lot. Of course, the writer can impose control; it’s just a really shitty i Leggi tutto
