It was a good book kurt barlow is the cool vampire

I have read several of Stephen Kings novels, most of them during class :D, however, this is by far one of my favorites due to the interesting plot and the way he developed the characters to rivet and thrill you to the very end. P.S. I bought this book on my Kindle and didn't read any reviews before hand so I had know idea there would be vampires, it was the surly a great twist and made the story shine.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It is creepy at points and really get to know the characters. Awesome vampire book!

Simply amazing!! One of my favorite of your works, thank you for writing this!!

Im really having trouble describing just how great these novels are. All I can say is that 'Salem's Lot i awesome!

i think tis book was awsome and it was very interesting

I loved this book. First Stephen King book I have ever read and i was hooked.This is the only book that i have read, that i actually connected with the characters. The only character i felt bad for was Eva though. I dont know why but i really liked her. Moving on to IT now. Loved the mini-series, watched it when i was like 4 and been terrified of clowns since.

I got this book for Christmas in the early 80's...I think I was 15 or 16. Started reading it early in the day & couldn't put it down. I finished it about 3AM the next morning and was so freaked out (the cover was black and had the outline of a girl with a drop of blood on the corner of her mouth) that I couldn't have the book in my room. I opened my parents attic door and threw the book (attic is huge, the full length of the house) as far across the attic as I could, never to be seen again. To my knowledge it is still there waiting to freak out the next person who finds it. It was the scariest novel I've ever read and certain scenes still disturb me to this day.

I'm reading this book right now and I think it's awesome. My goal is to read as many books as I can By Stephen King. And it's very easy because his books are so good, it's hard to put them down once you start reading them.

I have read a lot of Stephen Kings books, this was my first, I was in junior high and it scared the hell out of me, but I couldn't put it down.

This book is seriously scary...couldn't sleep for weeks after reading it...

I just finished this book, reading it for the first time. It was really good and not boring at all. This book gave me weird nightmare which has never happened to me before while reading a book, so it was a nice change.

This is such a wonderful book. It built and built and built until I was so nervous I couldn't stand it. I didn't put it down, then, and have reread it many times. Still get the same chills. Thank you for one of my top 5 favorite books.

i read this book and i loved it! it is my absolute favorite. i didnt find it scary enough to keep me up at night, but i thought it was a great action thriller. amazin!

This book is amazing! But I guess so is Stephen King! lmao keep up the good work! Big fan!

I have to say that this is one of the scariest novels I've ever read. It's in my Top Ten favorites of all time.

I'm watching Salems Lot right now, (on the 2nd part). Really good. What inspired you to write it?

I first read this book in 1976. It was my first Stephen King novel and I was immediately hooked. This was absolutely the BEST contemporary vampire novel I have read, second only to Bram Stoker's original. The only other book to scare me as much as 'Salem's Lot was Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. Over the past 30 years, I've re-read 'Salem's Lot over 20 times and it never loses it's ability to send chills down my spine. I've read almost all of Stephen King's published works and am a great fan of his, but the story of The Lot will always rank in the top 3 or 4.

This was one of the first Stephen King-books i read, might of have been the first, i am not sure. I think the book was great, and i couldn't stopr reading it (afterwards I noticed that was the case with almost all of his books). The villagers are all very real, and i saw many similarities with my own hometown here in Finland. That is probably the biggest strenght in Kings books, the way the characters are real and absolutely believable. That makes the books so much more scary and facinating. I definetly advice you to read this, though it isn't his best book, but still it is an awesome peace of writing that will surely keep you up at night!

Hi Mr King. I reckon this was my second favourite book you have written. Definetly one of the scariest. I have recently read for the third time on the Illustrated version. Will definetly read it again. When first reading it, I heard noises behind my window, I'll never forget that. Awesome job again Stephen.

I would just like to say that i hated books. Key word being 'hated'. I would be bored with every book i tryed and every think i tryed to read. But i realised that i dident hate books, i only hadent found the right book for me. Salams Lot was the first [what i consider] book i had ever read (i was 16 when i had read Salam's Lot) And it was AMAZEING! It was By Far the best thing i had ever read! i thought it would hold my interest because, maybe there would be some interesting mythic creatures in it. But the parts about this book i liked the best was learning about all there lives, and what they did every day. This book made me realise that i dont hate books, but hadent found the right book for me. Sence then i have read Everythings Eventual, and Just after sunset, and am in the prosess of reading IT. I would just like to say Thank you! Because i LOVE reading now! I have a full list of King books on my B-day list and i know i will love them all!

"Salems lot" is the best one and my alltime favourite. I read it almost every year in summer. I find it most thrilling at this time, because the atmosphere of late summer fits to the books atmosphere perfectly. I simply LOVE it!

A story I have read and re-read since my early teens,(I'm now 36). Unique in the fact that every time you read it you get something new from the story. Very much of its time as the author says in his introduction, however this is the appeal of the novel. Like an old friend you visit from time to time it encapsulates everything that is Small-Town -American for us non Americans. Without doubt the authors best novel despite much close competition.

A good book loved the way the book flowed smoothly.

I loved watching the 1979 movie version of this and this is what really got me into Stephen King. I read this book immediatly after IT and could not believe how short of time it took me to read this. It is certainly one of his best and for such an early attempt, it is flawless. Ben mears and Mr Barlow are two of King's best creations.

I finished this book a couple of weeks ago. OH my God!!! Stephen King rulz!!!! Ive also read It and The Green Mile. Now, one of my goals is to read every single book stephen king has written. he is just so cool!!

This was the first King novel that i read and because of it, Stephen King is now my favourite writer, so i thank him for that.

I LOVED this Book and the Movie...Cool!!!! As a huge horror fan, I am hoping that Mr. King will write a follow up to the first Salem's Lot Book.

I read this book in paperback when I was 17 years old and I was mesmerized. Mr. Kings imagination has always fascinated me and I shall never hope to be without at least one of his books at all times.

Someone might be helpful here. I'm looking to the original excerpt (I'm Italian and I've read the italian translation) of this book. Is the part, if I'm not wrong, where the doctor, when he's hospitalized, says "I've never seen an atheist dying without praying God" ... well, something like that. Thanks, Andrea

This was the first movie I remember seeing when I was 5. Man the lil ralphie Glick floating and scratching at the window scene scared me so deliciously, I wa hooked right then and there on vampires. I have read the book, no lies, 25 times, and will probly read it 25 more times, lol. thank you for this great story.

The only book that has ever truly terrified me.

Seen the movie, read the book. A must read for all vampire fans. Great story and parts of it appear in The Dark Tower books.

This is King's greatest novel. 'Salems Lot had me up past midnight on plenty of nights. This is not only King's best novel, it is the best vampire novel ever written.

This one remains my favorite even after all these years. I still read it at least once a year. I'd still like to have a better idea of the Lot's location in Cumberland county. I place it along Tuttle Rd. proximate to Cumberland Center.
