Jerusalem's Lot, Maine. Intent on writing a book on the notorious Marsten House--an age-old, rumour-filled residence perched on an allegedly haunted hilltop--successful novelist Ben Mears returns to his peaceful hometown after years of absence. But things have changed. Nowadays, two new tenants live in the sinister house: eerily cryptic newcomer Richard Straker and Kurt Barlow, his always absent business partner. And as a spate of unaccountable disappearances and unusual deaths sends shivers down the spine, suspicion overcomes the worried townsfolk. As a result, people are quick to point the finger at newly arrived outsiders. In this strange, knotty case, who is behind the veil of terror shrouding Salem's Lot?
