Reseñas de la Crítica

“A master storyteller.” (The Los Angeles Times)

“Stephen King has built a literary genre of putting ordinary people in the most terrifying situations. . . . He’s the author who can always make the improbable so scary you'll feel compelled to check the locks on the front door.” (The Boston Globe)

“[The] most wonderfully gruesome man on the planet.” (USA Today)

This ... is what I am talking about!!

Once again, I see King at his best in Salem’s Lot. Gothic elements and inspiration from Dracula make this story an amazing and unbelievable amalgamation of classics and uniqueness of King’s style. The haunted house, the dark ghosts, the dark powers of human nature and actions impregnated in the walls of a house. The energy that corrupts not only the body and mind but also the mortar and foundation of the family’s sanctuary.

I love it my it easier for ssr

I love definitely doing something like this again my the world so much easier Thankyou for such a good experience

Great story, impeccable narration

What made the experience of listening to Salem's Lot the most enjoyable?

Ron McLarty's performance and Stephen King's genius is a one in a lifetime combination

Any additional comments?

Every time I put my headphones on, I was transported to Jerusalem's lot. An extremely vivid experience. The magical narrative of King combined with the great talent of Ron McLarty's performance was a great experience. Extremely enjoyable.

Stephen King at his finest!

I read Salem's lot many mooons ago, around 40, but this story with the excellent narration still had me on the edge of my seat. Vampire stories have long been my favorite horror genre. I think those stories are the greatest metaphor about the human condition. One can see the similarities in our elected officials and business leader. Nothing stands in the way of what they want and think they need. They will betray everyone from family to even the well being of our country.

Ron McLarty is an excellent performer both on screen and in audio only. I have listened to a few audio books with him as the performer. Each one is a masterpiece.

Stephen King is a masterful story teller. I have listened to several of his books which I had previously read. They are still wonderfully chilling and entertaining.

wonderful

this book was a great story. I've worked my way through almost all the King novels and wish I'd read this one sooner!!

Scary again 30yrs later

I initially read this book as a teenager and was so scared I had to sleep with my mom one night! The audio version doesn't disappoint and the prologue by the master himself, Stephen King, is very interesting. I was frightened at some parts like that teenager all those years ago lol...the narrator is very good and has a soothing voice that I appreciated. I recommend this audiobook to all the "constant readers" ;-}

Salem’s Lot

The narration by Ron McLarty was the best I’ve heard amongst all the Audible books I’ve listened.

I enjoyed this book so much I’ve purchased a softcover copy of another Stephen King book.

Fascinating, imaginative, well-imagined tale!

This story is cool, slick, easy to understand, & easy to follow. It builds up tension, quite well. In the end, it is very exciting.

Awesome

It’s your typical non-typical vampire story. King makes you focus on the characters more than the fangs and blood sucking. This makes it no less creepy. Think before you drive through one horse towns at night!

As Always!

I love the intrigue and the intelligent manner of presenting the mystery. Never shoddy.
