Why It Matters
King called this the novel that scared him the most, and it is his most unflinching exploration of grief and the human refusal to accept death. The premise — what if you could bring the dead back? — is simple, but King pushes it to its bleakest possible conclusion. It is horror that works because it hits the one fear nobody can rationalize away.

Take
Personal reviewDidn’t buy Louis character and the power drawing him to the sematary, the rest seemed cookie cutter king
