| - Benjamin "Ben" Mears is an author and one-time resident of Jerusalem's Lot, Maine. Seeking a break from his career after the death of his wife, Miranda, and a current case of writer's block, he returns to the Lot. He decides to write about the town's haunted, dilapidated house, at the same time developing a passionate romance with college graduate and town resident Susan Norton. He soon finds himself caught up in the current invasion of the mysterious and powerful vampire Kurt Barlow, who seeks to turn the Lot's residents into more of his kind. When Susan is turned into a vampire, Ben is forced to stake her. Although the rest of Ben's subsequent 'resistance movement' is killed in the fight against Barlow, Ben and the other survivor, ten-year-old Mark Petrie, manage to escape after staking Barlow. After writing about their story, Ben and Mark return to the Lot to burn it down, hoping that the fire will drive out the vampires and leave them with no place to hide. In Wolves of the Calla, Callahan reveals he was sent todash to Los Zapatos and saw Ben's funeral, dying in his fifties while Mark is a young adult man, hinting that they destroyed Salem's Lot like they intended, or at least killed many vampires. One for the Road, though he's not directly mentioned, the fire is mentioned. According to Booth it lasted for three days. And it appeared he and Mark accomplished their goals. But only for a time, its never stated how many Ben and Mark killed. The disappearances occurred again and many who live near the "Lot" area, know to avoid it deathly. To the point that the characters Booth and his friend Tookey, have an unspoken knowledge that its bad to go to. This most likely meant that they only got as many as they could. Or Ben and Mark might have missed one or several; or one could have escaped and hidden from the hunters. Its currently unknown if in between that story and the Wolves of the Calla, the two ever realized that some vampires survived and spread again or not.
