The town of 'Salem's Lot the proper name for it is Jerusalem's Lot - the locals shorten it in the bigger novel. The only reason that I don't like to view it as a prequel is the location. In this the town is right near the sea, Chapelwaite is on the cliff edge. Whereas 'Salem's Lot in the bigger novel is nowhere near the sea.
Maybe... we also don't know the extact distance between Chapelwaite and Jerusalem's Lot. In this time Jerusalem's Lot was a forgotten and destroyed village, in the main novel it was already a normal American little town. An idea could be Chapelwaite would the location of the later Marsten house... And in the short story "One on the road" Jerusalem's/Salem's Lot was already forgotten again... And what matter with the unholy church in Jerusalem's Lot for Salem's Lot?
This is very true. For me its the sea that is the only reason I don't think they are in the same place. I don't think the 'Salem's lot in the novel is close to the sea, but I could be wrong
Jerusalem's Lot has heavy H.P. Lovecraft vibes. I recently binged a bunch of King's work and I walked away disappointed. IMO Night Shift was just an okay collection. I know I'm in the minority opinion on King. His works are loved by Booktube, but I just don't think he's that great. I liked the novel Salem's Lot quite a bit, but it wasn't perfect. However, it did have one of his better endings. The Dead Zone is my favorite King book. My favorite vampire novel (I've only read a few) is I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.
Night Shift isn't his best collection, for me that's Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Agreed he's not the best at ending his books but 'Salem's Lot is an early gem for having a decent ending.

Forgot how atmospheric the short story of Jerusalem's Lot, was. And you look fetching in that top hat.
I only appreciated it when I got older. And thanks! I do love my hat!
How have I never heard of this?!?
It's a little known gem. I only remembered after uploading that there was a tv series called Chapelwaite for it too
@@darkstarsbookcavern I definitely need to check out the book and the show
Why would this not a prequel of Salem's Lot? In Salem's Lot are many mentons for Jerusalem's Lot, isn't it? The small town of vampires 🦇🦇🦇
