Salem's Lot is a 1975 horror novel by American author Stephen King. It was his second published novel. The story involves a writer named Ben Mears who returns to the town of Jerusalem's Lot or 'Salem's Lot for short in Maine, where he lived from the age of five through nine, only to discover that the residents are becoming vampires. The town is revisited in the short stories "Jerusalem's Lot" and "One for the Road", both from King's story collection Night Shift (1978). The novel was nominated for the World Fantasy Award in 1976 and the Locus Award for the All-Time Best Fantasy Novel in 1987.

Explanation:
It is possible to argue that the sentence that best describes the culture group interactions between Gulliver and the Brobdingnagians is that they are kind to Gulliver but do not treat him as an equal. Despite the fact that he was taught their language by a nine years old girl - Glumdalclitch - who stood ¬not above 40 feet tall, being small for her age" his conversations with the King proves that the Brobdingnagians consider humans in general as below themselves, the King consider the English particularly "the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth". The king also scalds Gulliver when he tries to o interest the statesman in the use of gunpowder.
They find human institutions way below their own and they do not favour too much interaction or contact with humans, their laws are simple and straightforward, contrary to most human institutions; they value reason over emotions and it can be said that they are a race of mathematicians, being also profoundly interested in poetry and literature.
