First published in 1975, ‘SALEM’S LOT was Stephen King’s second novel. No doubt with a little help thanks to the truly frightening 1979 TV-movie, the book has become a seminal work of the vampire genre.
Whether you’ve never read it or can’t get enough of it, Doubleday is issuing ‘SALEM’S LOT: ILLUSTRATED EDITION next month in honor of its 30th anniversary. Like a DVD director’s cut, the hardcover will feature eight black-and-white photos by Jerry Uelsmann (KINGDOM HOSPITAL), two previously unpublished short stories related to the novel and a new introduction from King himself. Oh, and 50 new pages that make it the “masterpiece as (King) always envisioned it.”
This new LOT comes to pass on Nov. 1; you can preorder it now.

I think I just creamed myself.
Am I allowed to say that? I guess it is BOOKGASM, after all.
Thanks for this wonderful bit of news!
Judges? Yes, we’ll allow it!
