"Salem’s Lot gave birth not only to gaggles of vampire stories but also all kinds of creepy works in general’Salem’s Lot, because of its genuineness, its verve, its originality, its willingness to reflect, expand and celebrate its sources, and, most importantly, its establishment of Stephen King as a pioneer in a field ripe for re-invention, was germinal and originative of the entire boom in horror fiction" (Horror 100 Best 72). It was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1976, and the Locus Award for the All-Time Best Fantasy Novel in 1987. It was adapted for television twice, both of which are three-hour miniseries. The 1979 version starring David Soul as Ben Mears was nominated for three primetime Emmys and an Edgar Award. The 2004 version starred Rob Lowe, which also received a primetime Emmy nomination.
