<p><P><i>"Sometimes dead is better...."</i><P>When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son — and now an idyllic home. As a family, they've got it all...right down to the friendly cat.<P>But the nearby woods hide a blood-chilling truth — more terrifying than death itself...and hideously more powerful.<br></p><h3>New York Times - Annie Gottlieb</h3><p>Like most of Mr. King novels, <i>Pet Sematary</i> loses credibility toward the end, as it gains in gore. . . Nor is <i>Pet Sematary</i> his best book as a piece of writing. . . . Reader, beware. This is a book for those who like to take their scare straight -- with a chaser of despair.</p>
