# Pet Sematary

Set in rural Maine, Stephen King's novel is a slow-burning horror story about a family settling into an old house with fields and woods on its doorstep. Dr Louis Creed moves his young family there from Chicago, and the only intrusion is the highway at the front, where heavy trucks labour up the long hills.

Behind the house, a cleared path leads into the woods to the place where local children have buried their pets for generations. It seems harmless until it begins to reach into Louis's dreams. The publisher describes the book as a classic, and King builds his dread patiently, letting ordinary family warmth sharpen the unease that follows. It suits readers who like their horror quiet, patient and deeply unsettling.
