EARLY KING CREEPS IN A FINE EXTENDED EDITION
Yes, it was written in the 1970's, and some of the dialogue feels funny now, but re-reading King's second novel reminds me yet again, how good his early work is. And this illustrated edition is nicely printed with good paper and interesting photo montages that are suggestive rather than literal. Another bonus is the new forward by the author, explaining his inspiration for the story and his childhood love of Bram Stokers Dracula. There are also two short stories that came before the novel, and some deleted sections of the book printed here for the first time. If you love early Stephen King, this is quite the bargain, and worthy of space on your bookshelf.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

One of the more interesting authors in an admittedly mediocre age. Perhaps the best of his works.
When one has read such outstanding masters of the genre as M. R. James, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, Edith Wharton, HPL, etc., King is pretty thin stuff. He does frequently provide interesting general observations, the section of the two drunks getting to the city dump is certainly funny, and there is overall much pleasure to be derived from reading this (some very eerie moments, for instance), but there are many better authors of this type, some of them, even among modern writers, unjustly little known. Of the admittedly mere 3 King novels I read (the other two being The Shining and Pet Sematary), this is certainly the best, as the others were spun out unconscionably, too much stuff on little kids and other dull padding matter, so, personally, I would recommend anyone interested in King to at least read this one to get the flavor of his style, and then go on to others if still curious.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

I said it in many words above.
It's all good. Condition of dust jacket, hard cover, the book contents (no marks) the entire package was in great condition. As for the story, it is still creepy, scary; one you can't look away from but at the same time hard to put down. Did I mention this is my favorite horror story. I first read the book in 1975 and I still feel the same horror of the happenings in " 'Salem's Lot" The Shining is my #2 horror book and a scary movie. The best psychological (no blood) book/movie is the 60's movie "The Haunting of Hill House" by the author Shirley Jackson.This completes my favorite horror books and movies.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Wonderful Book
I love this book. I read 'Salem's Lot years ago and loved the story. I've wanted this version for years and finally have it. The illustrations are awesome. If you're a Stephen King fan and don't have this book, I highly recommend it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Seller is great, product is not
I had expected to get an illustrated version of Salems lot. This version the pictures are few and they are photographs of run down building, a spooky tree, which have nothing to do with the story.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

great read
This is the second SK book I ever read, with The Shining being my first. They both got me hooked on this excellent, gripping author...Who would turn into one of the best. I read the Shining when I was 18 in the middle of a blizzard......scared the sh....t out of me. Salems Lot is still one of favorites and reread it often. spooky as h...ll.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
