Inspirations of the novel

As King explained, the corruption in the U.S. government in the 1970s was a big factor in inspiring the story. “I wrote The Secret of Salem’s Lot “at the time when we learned about Ellsberg’s fall, about the White House tapes, the suspicions, the sinister CIA connection with Gordon Liddy…” the author said in the essay How to become a brand published in 1980.

“This novel has something to do with my own disappointment and the resulting fear for the future,” he emphasized. “In a way, it is rather Invasion of the Body Snatchers than it is Dracula. The fear here seems to be that the government has taken over everyone.

Apart from political disappointment and Dracula by Bram Stoker, King also acknowledged and cited influences that influenced the writing of this work, such as: The Haunting of the House on the Hill by Shirley Jackson and Peyton’s Place by Grace Metalious.

Previous adaptations of the novel Salem’s Lot include the 1979 two-part CBS miniseries and the 2004 TNT limited series starring Rob Lowe.

The premiere of the series “Salem’s Mystery” will take place on October 3 on the Max channel.
