From the Publisher

"Sometimes dead is better...."

When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son -- and now an idyllic home. As a family, they''ve got it all...right down to the friendly cat.

But the nearby woods hide a blood-chilling truth -- more terrifying than death itself...and hideously more powerful.

    This book was totally awsome!!!! It kept me up for hours reading this suspense novel by Stephen King. If you like Stephen King as much as I do I definitely recommend this book. It was packed with lots of horror. It was a roller coster of terror.

    I wish I could say that I tried harder to get through Pet Semetary before giving it up, that I carried it with me, that I read it in those stolen moments of banality, which I do with most books, but the fact is I didn't. And that says much about why I've decided to put it down unfinished. It's not that the story is a bad idea. Stephen King's story of the Creed family -- new to Maine and a life near Bangor -- is pretty clever and has enough going on that it should be interesting. They move… read more

    This book was very silly. It wasn't scary and for the most part it was very boring. (JUST KIDDING!) This book is awesome! Its one of the best horror books around! 5 stars!

    Pet Sematary 4

    This review is from: Pet Sematary (Mass Market Paperbound)

    10 years ago

    This was one of Stephen Kings scariest book I have read. The concept of the novel is having those you love come back to live with you as the walking dead, in the form of how they died in. This novel reminded me of my favourite short story in highschool called "The Monkey's Paw". The only thing about this novel is the story goes at a good pace until the end where all of a sudden the story turns chaotic and it is hard to follow. This book is a good read for all you horror fans!!!

    The thriller of a lifetime 4

    5 years ago

    This book takes you on the wild adventure of the creeds. Just when you think that something good will happen another twist of gory fate is thrown into come up with a cliffhanger to make you not want to put the book down. Even though i read it in more that one sitting, with every page, and every passage the excitement build until the climax which shocked me so much , i read it three times to make sure what i was reading was correct. I loved it, and will read it again and again. I will be honest… read more

    I came to a local chapters looking for a good horror book because i havent read many of them and i came across this book. I thoguht it was absolutley great and astounding. I'm currently in grade 8 and when my teacher saw that I reading this book i think he was pretty shocked. This book is about the dead coming back to life(yes i know, it sounds pretty stupid). But trust me, it is not. Once you read this book you will figure out how great it is.
