Reader Response

Thus far, I am really enjoying Pet Sematary. Not only is it engaging and keeping me on the edge of my seat, but the plot is also complex and has many twists and turns. If you were not familiar with King’s writing, the story starts off on a very light note and it seems that it’s going to be a happy story, but if you know that he’s a horror writer you begin to pick up on the mysterious, creepy hints right away. For example, he describes the path to the cemetery as being beautiful, but the fact that it’s so isolated adds a creepy vibe to it. Then, when his friend Jud takes him beyond the stack of fallen trees (that looks a lot like a stack of fallen bones) this place that was once described as beautiful, takes on a very horrifying feel to it. There is a constant build-up of suspense, that even when something dramatic happens you still feel like the situation is somehow going to get worse.
