When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job, and moves his family to the idyllic, rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Yet despite Ludlow's tranquility, there's an undercurrent of danger that lingers…like the graveyard in the woods near the Creed's home, where generations of children have buried their beloved pets.

A blood-chilling truth is hidden there—one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. An ominous fate befalls anyone who dares tamper with this forbidden place, as Louis is about to discover for himself…

Reviews
A classic novel that is definitely worth the read!
As both movies this is disturbing and heartrending. Stephen King creates a unique atmosphere around this story
What an amazing piece of work. Terrifyingly interesting and intriguing
Awesome read. Beautifully accurate look at the thoughts of these main characters throughout this story and a dark sense in the lengths we can go to as human beings.
Wicked, blistering novel. Never a dull moment. Long live the King.
Intense atmosphere, great characters, wonderful build-up and an unlike-King ending. Must-read.
Great narration, intense and truly deeply frightening bordered with disgusting. Would never return to it again, but really glad to get all the way to the end
Great wording, wasn't as scary as I expected but still gave me a bit of paranoia at night.
Probablemente la mejor historia que ha escrito el Sr. King. Simplemente aterradora.
Very entertaining “classic” of a book. Great cliffhanger for the reader/listener to think about. Now time to watch the movie
If you’re a parent this book is likely better. I thought there was too much build up to get to the point of it.
BEST horror story EVER
You just HAVE to read it

"O death your hands are clammy...I feel them on my knees...you came and took my mother...won't you come back after me?"

If you have kids, this book is hard. Thats the reason its so good....
One of his best and sure to make one think on immortality
Suspenseful and WAY better than the 1989 movie! If only movie adaptations took care to preserve the actual efforts of the authors.
Michael C Hall does a superb job narrating this Stephen King staple.
The Shining was my favorite King novel, that is until I finally got around to reading Pet Sematary. I absolutely loved this novel!
So tragic. Terrifying for any parent. I was hoping for a different ending having seen the movie. You can read it and find out it it was. Great narration.
Scariest book yet!!! Much better than the movie. In my top 3 King books...
The narrator did an amazing job . It's very captivating.
a very dark story. the narrator is very good. but Rachel is whiny, demanding, bitchy & annoying.
One of Mr. King's best. Creepy, suspenseful, and at times, straight up terrifying. Michael C. Hall should've played the father in the reboot. He was amazing as the narrator
Very detailed and really pulls you in!! I read this book non stop for 5 hours at a time it was amazing yet a little disturbing, but it was an amazing book. I definitely recommend this to anyone interested!!
Not the scariest but okay!! Was a decent book overall.
I loved every second of this book. It is so frightening, a parent’s worse fear: their kids coming into harm, so it makes this book all the better, with the gruesome details of the accident ad everything. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good scare.
It was super obvious where the plot was going towards the end, but the illustration of foreboding, suspense, and absolute terror are still marvelous!
A classic by the King of horror. Great book, but probably one I can only read once. As a mother, the content is extremely heavy and hard to handle. Despite it being heavy, it is still fantastically written and all around spooky. It is well worth the time to read!
An eerie and skin crawling story only Stephen King could write! Very well done.
