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?

With their lives hanging by a thread, Ben must brace himself up for the final confrontation between good and evil. But first, Ben must summon every ounce of courage to enter the grim Marsten House, the dark lair of the ancient vampire. The archfiend's black coffin rests safely in the bowels of the unholy place, guarded by an immortal army of darkness. How can a handful of humans cleanse Salem's Lot, the bloodsuckers' sanctuary?
