“Jerusalem's Lot” is set more than a century before that iconic vampire novel, and it’s actually primarily focused on a neighboring Maine town called Preacher’s Corners. The story is told through a series of letters and tells the tale of Captain Charles Boone – a man who moves to Preacher’s Corners after he inherits his family’s ancestral home, an estate called Chapelwaite, following the death of his estranged cousin. When he first moves in he is distrubed by events that transpire inside the house, starting with an interminable scratching coming from inside the walls, but things get far worse when the protagonist discovers a map to a small desolate town called Jerusalem’s Lot, opening a horrific and Lovecraftian can of worms.
