Product Description

The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed. A place where his family could settle, and the children could grow up and explore the rolling hills and meadows. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.

Pet Semetary
An absolutely brilliant book, a story well told and in keeping with the film. I have owned the book for many years and despite owning many books I always go back to it because I know I am guaranteed a good read. My paperback is huge and tatty through so much reading! I thoroughly 100% recommend it.

What can i say, this was before King Padded his books with filler and it rocks.
"If you go down to the woods today, your in for a big surprize. If you go down to the woods today you wont believe your eyes, For every wrong thing that ever there was...................................... Todays the day the Teddybears have their picnic."

As a constant reader of Stephen King, in my personal rating list this is his number one.
Stephen King wrote a lot of VERY good books, and I loved almost every one of them ("Firestarter" and "Rose Madder" were slightly less good), but this is my personal favourite. Why? Because of a perfect construction and a deeply true message, which is "It is useless, deadly and totally stupid to try to reject the fondamental laws governing the universe - and trying it is just giving to the temptation by the evil, with the capital E". The book tells about maybe the most difficult law to accept - that people die. And sometimes they die well before they managed to live. Now, the hero of the book will refuse this fact - and he will suffer the same fate as people who proudly refuse to accept gravitation and walk in the void from the top of a tower.... And the road that leads him to the doom will go through the Pet Sematary.... A great, inteligent and incredibly terrifying book.
