As a connoisseur of the strange, I dabble in many forms of odd things. From folklore to legend, from ghost stories to little red men on telephone poles. I have read a fair amount of the weird. When I listened to Salem’s Lot by Stephen King (and read “Jerusalem’s Lot” and “One for the Road”), I felt as though there was this great haunting happening to the town of Salem’s Lot. The spirits of the dead are restless and all that. In this post, we are going to analyze ghost story conventions in Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot.
