The art-horror; horror writing Horror stories The nature of Horror, by Noel Carroll

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (November 8, 1847 – April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and short story writer, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.

Stephen King's second novel, Salem's Lot, is the story of a mundane town under siege from the forces of darkness.

Late that summer, Ben Mears returned to 'Salem's Lot, a small New England town, hoping to cast out his own devils. And found instead a new unspeakable horror.

A stranger with a secret as old as evil had also come to the Lot...

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.

Considered one of the most terrifying vampire novels ever written.
