Stephen King truly raises the stakes in what is arguably his most horrifying novel: Pet Sematary. The novel follows husband and father, Dr. Louis Creed, as he and his family move into the remote town of Ludlow, Maine. Something seems strange about their new lot, however, as they notice that drivers in the area pay no attention to road signs or speed limits. The horrors begin to make themselves known as Jud, the Creed family’s new neighbor, shows them the pet cemetery made by children that is on the plot of land that they just purchased. This in itself does not seem anything worse than vaguely creepy, but it’s what’s on the path beyond the cemetery that Louis Creed must face soon enough. I would give Pet Sematary 4 out of 5 stars, redacting a star due to the novel’s vague themes and messages that may take some digging in order to discover. Other than that, it is a great horror novel for anyone 15 years and older as long as they can handle the death and violence that the novel is based around.
