Is Castle Rock, Maine the Best Fictional Town?
Stephen King’s recurring dark village of Castle Rock (from The Dead Zone, Creepshow and others) was suggested but even in the category of King’s creations Salem’s Lot seems the creepiest. In fictional New England towns in horror fiction Arkham, Massachusetts and creepy Innsmouth from King’s inspiration H.P. Lovecraft seem like stronger choices. And outside of horror fiction, Peyton Place, New Hampshire is probably on of the best known even if people might not have read the book or seen the movie or TV show.
