Jerusalem's Lot, Maine
Jerusalem's Lot, Maine (often shortened to 'Salem's Lot or just the Lot) is a fictional town and a part of writer Stephen King's fictional Maine topography. 'Salem's Lot has served as the setting for a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories. 'Salem's Lot first appeared in King's 1975 novel '''Salem's Lot'', and has reappeared as late as his 2013 novel ''Doctor Sleep'' (see list below). The town is described as being located in Cumberland County, between (or including parts of) the towns of Falmouth, Windham, and Cumberland, near the southern part of the state about twenty miles north of Portland.〔As stated in ''Salem's Lot'' and "One for the Road"〕 A map on King's official website, though, places 'Salem's Lot considerably further north, approximately in Northwest Piscataquis.〔(Stephen King's Map of Maine )〕
King, a native of Portland, Maine, created a trinity of fictional Maine towns – Jerusalem's Lot, Castle Rock and Derry – as central settings in more than one work. King has stated that writer H. P. Lovecraft was responsible for King's own fascination with horror and the macabre, and was the single largest figure to influence his writing.〔''The Best of H. P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre'', Del Rey Books, 1982, front cover.〕
==Origin and Inspiration==
In ''Danse Macabre'', King's non-fiction, semi-autobiographical review of horror in all media forms, King confesses that 'Salem's Lot was largely derived from the town of Durham, Maine; specifically the area in which he resided as a youth known locally as "Methodist Corners." The Marsten House of Salem's Lot was based upon a vacant house of the same name in Methodist Corners; he and his friends had explored the real Marsten House as children.〔http://www.librosgratisweb.com/pdf/king-stephen/danse-macabre.pdf Pg. 159〕
