Pet Sematary by Stephen King

5.0

Of all the books by Stephen King, this one hits very close to home. On the surface, the Creeds seem to be an idyllic family. As Louis discovers the destructive power of the burial ground the curse reveals the hidden flaws in the family, PTSD, dysfunctional relationships with in-laws, and the complicity of small-town life. Overall, Louis destroys his family while trying to save it, his attempts to thwart death are horrifically contrasted with Rachel's growing sense that death is a natural and essential part of life and any attempts to play God will only bring more tragedy.
