Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot is his quintessential vampire story, with adaptations of the story ranging in quality. The book, about a small town in Maine beset with horrifying versions of vampires, has so far been adapted into two TV miniseries, a prequel show, and two movies. King has written several vampire tales at this point, but Salem’s Lot remains a fan favorite that influenced generations of vampire storytelling. It was only King’s second published novel, released in 1975. It’s also just a really good book, showing right away just how formidable a presence in horror King was destined to become.
