My ‘King-a-thon’ continues with one of his most memorable novels, Pet Sematary.

Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to rural Maine with their two young children. The couple soon discover a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near their new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his neighbour Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unspeakable evil with horrific consequences…

Once again, Stephen King delivers another terrifying and spine-tingling page-turner that is beautifully disturbing, but at the same time an immersive story that will not only keep you awake at night but craving more as the story goes on.

I loved this book, not only because of the horror aspect, which is great, but also the character building that once again, King does so well.

The book left me torn. When the story takes an inevitable dark turn, I found myself disagreeing with the choices Louis makes, but at the same time (and perhaps it’s the dad in me) I completely understood why he made them.

In my humble opinion, this book is a prime example of a book that is far better than the movie(s). I think Pet Sematary is a superior story when it is imagined, not seen… but that is just me.

It’s hard to describe what Pet Sematary is like in terms of horror. It’s not gory, nor is it a ghost story. I saw somewhere someone referring to it as ‘hard horror’. I think that sums it up perfectly.

This book goes to places that others dare not. Hell, even Stephen King himself thought that he’d gone too far when he wrote this. But it works and it’s a gripping read for all fans of horror…
