About this ebook

The "viciously pleasurable" New York Times bestseller that plunges you into the major motion picture written and directed by the horror maestro ( Buffalo News ).

"The book offers a different experience from the film since it can obviously go into much more detail," says Rob Zombie. "The book and the film really complement each other."

The Lords of Salem

Heidi Hawthorne is a thirty-seven-year-old FM radio DJ and a recovering drug addict. Struggling with her newfound sobriety and creeping depression, Heidi suddenly receives an anonymous gift at the station—a mysteriously shaped wooden box branded with a strange symbol. Inside the box is a promotional record for a band that identifies themselves only as The Lords. There is no other information.

She decides to play it on the radio show as a joke, and the moment she does, horrible things begin to happen. The strange music awakens something evil in the town. Soon enough, terrifying murders begin to happen all around Heidi. Who are The Lords? What do they want?

As old bloodlines are awakened and the bodies start to pile up, only one thing seems certain: all hell is about to break loose.

"We've got a gem on our hands . . . The novel kicks serious satanic ass . . . The Lords of Salem bowls over the imagination with in-your-face brutality, graphic imagery, unforgiving menace, and, believe it or not, some touching humanity." —HorrorNovelReviews.com

"A rollicking good time for die-hard horror buffs." —TheDarkeva.com

"The book moves along at a brisk pace juxtaposing between mystery and ultraviolence." —HorrorTalk.com

It felt very forced and wanting so badly to be a gorefest. Generally I don't mind. I love zombies films but this was just not good. I'm kind of ashamed I bought it.

I haven't read the full book yet, but I have found the few chapters in the sample completely amazing and I couldnt stop completely worth the money I am going to spend right now!

It was a little (Okay a lot) twisted at times, but it was impossible to put down and the imagery was enough to make you feel like you were in the nightmare along with the main character.
