Pet Sematary

More about the book

There is a reason why Stephen King is one of the bestselling writers in the world, ever. As George Pelecanos says: 'King's gift of storytelling is unrivalled. His ferocious imagination is unlimited.' King knows how to write stories that draw you in and are impossible to put down. The house looks right, feels right, to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old and comfortable. A place where the family can settle; the children can grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seem a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway growls out an intrusive threat. But behind the house there's a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial. A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding... 'King can make the flesh creep half a world away.' - The Times If you were held in Stephen King's terrifying grip by Cujo, The Dark Half, 'Salem's Lot and The Shining, then don't miss one of the most powerful horror stories of all time, Pet Sematary.
