To start out with, a summary. Dr.Louis Creed, his wife Rachel, their children Eileen and Gage and their cat move to Bangor, Maine, in order to have a larger home and yard. The town is nice, the neighbors are friendly and not too far from their house is a "pet cemetery," a place where children bury their pets. Eventually it is revealed that the real cemetery is past the pet cemetery and the ground there holds power. Power to raise a cat from the dead. As you might imagine though, this is where things start to go horribly wrong.
I don't think I've ever seen a story where playing God ends well. This is one of those stories. Filled with a creeping dread, this book will give you nightmares. You will also love the characters and be deeply saddened by the choices they make and the havoc their consequences wreak.
This being a Stephen King book, I expected it to be scary, but a normal kind of scary.
I couldn't sleep after this book.There is humor, and life, and death, and sadness, but it is mostly just a slow, creeping horror. It is definitely one of the scariest books by Stephen King.
Just remember, sometimes dead is better
5 stars
