Horror Book Club: Pet Sematary

Of the dozens of books Stephen King has written, Pet Sematary is the one that scared him the most. It’s essentially a retelling of the macabre masterpiece “The Monkey’s Paw,” which also climaxes with the reanimation of the dead body of a beloved. King wrote his novel while serving as the writer in residence at the University of Maine and living next to a highway where pets were regularly killed by cars and trucks. Join other lovers of the supernatural to revel in the book that came out of that experience. – Brant Bingamon
