Salem's Lot by Stephen King [1975 HARDCOVER]

Salem's Lot by Stephen King

FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION [1975] DOUBLEDAY

Medium sized book club edition.  Early printing. 

Hardcover with dust jacket.  Dust jacket is in nice shape; some chipping to top of spine; and some visible shelf / rub wear.  Now housed in a protective mylar jacket.  

Book itself is very good; mild foxing to text block [see last photo] and two small blemishes to boards.  Reads almost good as new. 

'Salem's Lot is a small New England town with white clapboard houses, tree-lined streets, and solid church steeples. That summer in 'Salem's Lot was a summer of home-coming and return; spring burned out and the land lying dry, crackling underfoot. Late that summer, Ben Mears returned to 'Salem's Lot hoping to cast out his own devils... and found instead a new unspeakable horror.

A stranger had also come to the Lot, a stranger with a secret as old as evil, a secret that would wreak irreparable harm on those he touched and in turn on those they loved.

All would be changed forever—Susan, whose love for Ben could not protect her; Father Callahan, the bad priest who put his eroded faith to one last test; and Mark, a young boy who sees his fantasy world become reality and ironically proves the best equipped to handle the relentless nightmare of 'Salem's Lot.
