"Jerusalem's Lot" is a short story by American horror fiction giant Stephen King. It is loosely connected to H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
Publication History[]
"Jerusalem's Lot" was first published in the 1978 collection of King's own works Night Shift. It has since been reprinted dozens of times in a plethora of different publications, and has been translated into French, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Finnish and Spanish.
Trivia[]
- De Vermis Mysteriis features in the story, and the godlike creature Yogsoggoth is mentioned.
- The story functions as something of a follow-on to King's 1975 novel 'Salem's Lot, linking that tale to the Cthulhu Mythos although it contains no references to it.
