THE BOOK THAT SCARED KING
King once stated that Pet Sematary was the only one of his novels that actually scared him. What possibly makes it King’s most horrifying supernatural and psychological thriller is that its story is based in reality. Its genesis is in 1978 when King and his family moved to a new home in small-town Maine. One of the home’s unsettling amenities was a small cemetery marked with a home-made sign with the words “Pet Sematary” scrawled upon it. However, this was no creation by mere word association. King’s supernatural experiences with this “sematary” and his daughter’s own childhood cat bring this story to life more than most would want to realize.
Pet Sematary has solidified itself as one of King’s most intense novels and a classic of the modern horror genre. Presented here is an early book club edition in exemplary condition.
