'Salems Lot is a small New England town with white clapboard houses,
tree-lined streets, and solid church steeples. That summer in 'Salem's Lot
was a summer of home-coming and return; spring burned out and the land
lying dry, crackling underfoot. Late that summer, Ben Mears returned to 'Salems
Lot hoping to cast out his own devils and found instead a new unspeakable
horror.
A stranger had also come to the Lot, a stranger with a secret as old as evil,
a secret that would wreak irreparable harm on those he touched and in turn
on those he loved.
All would be changed forever- Susan, whose love for Ben could not protect
her; Father Callahan, the bad priest who put his eroded faith to one last test
and Mark, a young boy who sees his fantasy world become reality and
ironically proves the best equipped to handle the relentless nightmare of 'Salems Lot.
