Pet Sematary

Written by Stephen King

Narrated by C. Michael Hall

Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestseller and “wild, powerful, disturbing” (The Washington Post Book World) classic about evil that exists far beyond the grave—now featuring a stunning vintage cover!

When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Despite Ludlow’s tranquility, an undercurrent of danger exists here. Those trucks on the road outside the Creed’s beautiful old home travel by just a little too quickly, for one thing…as is evidenced by the makeshift graveyard in the nearby woods where generations of children have buried their beloved pets. Then there are the warnings to Louis both real and from the depths of his nightmares that he should not venture beyond the borders of this little graveyard where another burial ground lures with seductive promises and ungodly temptations. A blood-chilling truth is hidden there—one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. As Louis is about to discover for himself sometimes, dead is better…

Reviews for Pet Sematary

[Brett Seyboth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

You just can’t beat Micheal C Hall. Creepy but really good.

[Brian Carroll · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If you have kids, this book is hard. Thats the reason its so good....

[Matt (John Subpoena) · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

So this was my first SK novel (among many more to come), and as much as I liked it, I was left a bit disappointed by the fact that SK says himself in the intro that this is his most messed up work yet...and tbh, the last 15% is the most frightening, while the rest to be a bit slow at times. Maybe I’m just a scrub, but I was hoping for more with that kind of hype coming from the author himself. Now, having seen the film first, this book is soooooooooooooooo much better than the 1989 film adaptation.

I chose this book due to the reboot coming out early this april, but even before a final trailer is released, there is already W A Y too many things that don’t connect with the book (by a lonnnng shot folks). so with that in mind, I would recommend this one right now. Also, narrator does amazing with voices

[randy garrett · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

King’s long stories are full of details of plot and characters. This, in my opinion, is one of his best. A scary tale that will fill you with unease and keep you turning pages as quickly as you can.

[Anthony Stearns · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Excellent book. The final quarter of the book is flawless and that ending is just perfect. The narration work by Michael C. Hall in the Audio version is second-to-none. I really wish he did more narration work, he's truly fantastic.

[joel van · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fantastic story. Amazingly sad. King has a way of making you fall in love with the characters all the while feeling terrible for them and their impending doom.
Michael C Hall’s narration is fantastic. I couldn’t have thought of a better person for this audio book

This is an absolute masterpiece. One of the best horror /thriller stories I have ever read. And special kudos to the narrator for bringing this to life with his amazing narration......

Amazing. I get why my parents wouldn’t let me see the movie as a kid. The narrator was fantastic!

[Andrew Benvenuti · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of my favorite books! The writing is excellent. The structure and story telling are so well done. It’s frightening and fun, with rich characters and great human relationships.

[Kimberly R · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of the better King endings IMO. I was terrified to read it for over 25 years and now that I have I'm so glad it did.

[michelle wilson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good read just wish he would let a medical professional proofread
There’s a couple lines that were hard to read.

[Eric Villa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow edge of my seat until the end. A mix of sadness and horror that felt me wanting more.

[YaYa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved every second of this book. It is so frightening, a parent’s worse fear: their kids coming into harm, so it makes this book all the better, with the gruesome details of the accident ad everything. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good scare.

[veronica white · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A classic novel that is definitely worth the read!

[Brock Sampson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

That was crazy I had no idea it was that much different than the movie

[Shawna · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I read this book for the first time when I was thirteen. It launched my love of reading. I have reread it several times thru the years and figured this time I would do the audio. MICHAEL C did an amazing job. Still get goosebumps when reading it, and I still love it.

A very interesting book, although it felt quite slow at times.

[Zachary Cruise · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

My first novel by Stephen King, and I immediately understand why he’s so popular. Easy to get through. Had be horrified to continue, but eager to turn the page.

"O death your hands are clammy...I feel them on my knees...you came and took my mother...won't you come back after me?"

[Brodie Bender · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a great book. It has a darker, slightly morbid feel to it but all in all the book had great content and captures the reader in the story.

[Tom Buhle · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of his best and sure to make one think on immortality
