Finally read this book in 2025. I has seen the movie back in the 90s and absolutely loved it. The book is even better. Would definitely read again.
A great story. Had me feeling horrible things during the waking hours and even asleep. Scary and yet couldn't stop reading. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who enjoys horror and would like a good spook
You know how when you would watch Kobe Bryant or Michael dominate basketball and they seemed to have a different gear. This book is that, its commitment to a craft, its putting in the work, reading this close to 50 years after its publication and it still reads better than other works today. There moments where the writing speaks to you and it feels like he writes the human experience better than anyone.
Pet Sematary absolutely terrified me, and that is saying something because I read over one hundred books a year and no other book has ever affected me the way this one did. From the moment I started, I kept telling myself I would read just one more chapter, and before I knew it, hours had passed. The suspense and dread build so perfectly that it is impossible to put down.I even found myself refusing to read it during my night job, choosing instead to only read it in the comfort of my own bed. There is something so unsettling about the way Stephen King writes this story that it lingers in your mind long after you close the book. It was absolutely and awesomely terrifying, and it stands out as one of King’s best that I have read so far as I work my way through his books in release order.
What if you could bring back a deceased loved one, even if they came back … wrong? Welcome to an exploration of that question, and its most horrifying outcomes! This is King at his best, and the final two sentences of this masterful work of horror haunt me to this day.
