Hier eine Übersicht über die Klappentexte von Stephen Kings Roman Brennen muss Salem (orig.: 'Salem's Lot):

Englische Taschenbuchausgabe

Thousands of miles away from the small township of 'Salem's Lot, two terrified people still share the secrets of those clapboard houses and tree-lined streets.
One is an eleven-year-old boy. He never speaks but his eyes betray the indescribable horror he has witnessed.
The other is a man plagued by nightmares, a man who knows that soon he and the boy must return to 'Salem's Lot for a final confrontation with the unspeakable evil that lives on in the town where no one is human anymore.

Hörbuch-Ausgabe

Stephen King's second novel, 'Salem's Lot, is the story of a mundane town under siege from the forces of darkness. Considered one of the most terrifying vampire novels ever written, it cunningly probes the shadows of the human heart - and the insular evils of small-town America.

Deutsche Taschenbuchausgabe (Heyne)

Als erfolgreicher junger Romanschriftsteller kehrt Ben Mears an den Ort seiner Kindheit zurück, um in der Abgeschiedenheit dieser ruhigen amerikanischen Kleinstadt ein Buch zu schreiben. Fast gleichzeitig taucht ein Unbekannter auf, der für sich und seinen Kompagnon ein seit Jahrzehnten leerstehendes Haus mietet, dessen einstige Besitzer auf mysteriöse Weise ums Leben gekommen waren. Und wieder geschehen seltsame Dinge: nachts brennen geheimnisvolle Lichter im Fenster, ein Hund wird ermordet, ein Kind verschwindet ...

Hier eine Übersicht über die Klappentexte von Stephen Kings Roman In einer kleinen Stadt (orig.: Needful Things):

Englische Taschenbuch- und Hörbuch-Ausgabe

A wonderful new store has opened in the little town of Castle Rock, Maine. Whatever your heart's secret desire - sexual pleasure, wealth, power, or even more precious things - it's for sale. And even though every item has a nerve-shattering price, the owner is always ready to make a bargain.

Englische Hardcoverausgabe (Hodder & Stoughton; auf Schutzhülle)

Castle Rock, Maine, where Polly Chalmers runs You Sew and Sew and Sheriff Alan Pangborn is in charge of keeping the peace. It's a small town, and Stephen King fans might think they know its secrets pretty well: they've been here before.
Leland Gaunt is a stranger - and he calls his shop Needful Things. Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk is his first customer, and Brian finds just what he wants most in all the world: a 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. By the end of the week, Mr Gaunt's business is fairly booming. At Needful Things there's something for everyone.
And, of course, for everyone there is a price. For Leland Gaunt, the pleasure of doing business lies chiefly in seeing how much people will pay for their most secret dreams and desires. And at Needful Things, the prices are high indeed.
For Alan and Polly, this autumn week will be an awful test - a test of will, desire, and pain. Above all, it will be a test of their ability to grasp the true nature of their enemy. They may have a chance ...
But maybe not, because, as Mr Gaunt knows, almost everything is for sale: love, hope - even the human soul.

Deutsche Hardcoverausgabe (Hoffmann und Campe)

Needful Things; so nennt sich der Laden, den Leland Gaunt, der Fremde von irgendwoher, in Castle Rock eröffnet. Jeder findet bei ihm, was er zu seinem Leben braucht. Und alles hat seinen Preis ...
