Pet Sematary

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Michael C. 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…

The soil of a man's heart is stonier. A man

loved how this was delivered. such a wonderful job. couldn't stop listening. had heard/seen/read before but once I saw Hall was narrating was sold. chills and thrills with a wonderful voice! cheers

Worth the wait...

I've been eagerly awaiting this audiobook since I first heard that it was being narrated by Michael C. Hall. I love Stephen King. However, I have been sorely disappointed with the majority of narrators chosen to perform his novels. Namely Campbell Scott whose monotone narration literally ruined my two favorite King books. So, when I saw the pairing of this classic with Hall, I was beside myself. And it was definitely worth the wait. I'm only a quarter of the way into it, but I've read the story before so I can say firsthand that Hall definitely delivers. It's like a breath of fresh air after so many disappointments.

This may contain a spoiler for those of you who may not already know the entire story, but nothing too direct. I will just say that this is one of his darkest and most heart wrenching novels to date. I've had two children and God only knows what lengths I would go to to bring them back if something were to happen. One can only hope to never be put in Louis' shoes.

Alot of build up

Ifelt like the whole book was building up to a very big thing...... but then the end came and i was left very let down. Very anti climactic

Good story but

I enjoyed the book I just wish that it would have been a little longer and I would have loved to have gotten a lil back history on the burial ground.

Michael C Hall crushes it w/spookiness King'd love

MCH puts on just the right amount of 'voices' to deliver one of my favorite King novels perfectly - lots of the child I remember, and I particularly enjoy his Judd.
