Book Description:
Dr. Louis Creed and his wife Rachel chose rural Maine to settle his family and bring up their children. It was a better place than smog-covered Chicago -- or so he thought. But that was before he became acquainted with the old pet burial ground located in the backwoods of the quiet community of Ludlow.

The place has a power -- it seeps into your dreams and you wake up sweating with fear. It is a place that strikes dread into the lives of all who share its secrets.

Definitely a classic; and so much better than the movie! I'm sure you've all heard the basic story; people have pets who die, and when they bury them in this certain cemetary, they come back to life. Find out what happens to one family when their young son dies and they bury HIM there!

As a King fan I can state positively this is one of his best and scariest. A gripping read... Ranked as Literary Guild Main Selection

When something dies, bury it here, and it will
return.

For pure scariness, not to mention an exceptional look into the disintegration of a grieving father, this book takes the prize.

A slow starter, this book plods along, slowly working toward a 50-page climax that ends exactly how you might guess from the first few chapters.

I loved this book. I saw the movie first and finally just got to reading the book a few months ago. It was great and I couldn't put it down! Way better than the movie, even though I always hear Fred Gywnne as Jud saying, "The heart of a man is stonier, Louis." Great, great book!!! One of the best I've ever read!
