Pet Sematary answers the classic horror question of "What happens if we bring back the dead?" And the answer, as always, is "Nothing good."
The Creed family is delightful--Louis, a university doctor, Rachel, his lovely, sweet, thanatophobic wife, Ellie, a delightful daughter, and Gage, the sweetest baby boy. Everything seems to be going right for them when the move to Ludlow, and then, within a year, things go very, very wrong.
King does an excellent job at pacing the story. Nothing, save for the concluding events, happens back-to-back, and it allows for the horror and dread to grow and fester. He makes you care about the characters and feel for them when tragedy hits.
I didn't love the final events like I thought I would, but still, a very satisfying conclusion! A truly dreadful horror novel that deserves its place as a classic.

And in all reality, if most people had a chance to bring someone they loved back from the dead, especially in those painful first days, wouldn't they give anything to do it?
I didn’t love the condescending way Louis treats Rachel, even if it’s coming from a good place.
