Stephen Kings "Pet Sematary"

I have recently encountered probably the best novel in the world written by the cult classic himself Stephen King.

Pet sematary

Release: 1983
Genre: Horror
Themes involved: Death, Getting to grips with life and reality.
Plot: Dr. Louis creed is uneasy as he drives his family, wife Rachel, Children Eileen & Gage, and a cat to their new home, a rambling white-frame house on the outskirts of Ludlow, Mainen New England. The children are tearful, Rachel is short tempered. But the place is just perfect and the family meets Jud Crandall, an old and wily neighbour. He takes them exploring and shows them the pet sematary, where local children have buried their pets or generations. Only Eileen is slightly disgruntled. After all, her beloved cat is going to live forever...

The family has barely settled in when the nightmare begins- for Louis anyway. Day one at Maine University Medical Centre and a young student, Victor Pascow, is brought in, horribly mutilated and dying - the innocent victim of a careless driver. Pascow tries to warn the doctor about the place beyond the pet sematary, a burial ground far older and touched by the very essence of evil.

Death comes again on thanksgiving and when personal tragedy strikes the Creed family Louis sets out on a terrifying journey with consequences beyond the realms of humanity comprehension....and sanity.

Pet Sematary is more than vintage King. The author himself has confessed that the events of the novel left him terror-struck and showed him levels of blackness that he had "no desire to re-visit". With this account of one rational man's encounter with the forces of an unimaginable evil,
Stephen King shows he is the master of the horror story.

My rating: 10/10 (No exxageration)
I sternly advise EVERYONE brave enough to read this stunning novel!
Have a nice day!

That is a good book...

I think the best one I've ever read is "Good Omens". It goes under the genre of humor, and is a hilarious look on the apocalypse, the antichrist, and London...

No it is Cemetery!

You need to have read the book to understand the meaning of this simple misspelling.
