Pet Sematary 4.5/5
This is the best book I’ve read by Stephen King, who is usually very hit or miss for me. It’s a heart-wrenching tale of grief, death, and horror. I think everyone half knows this story, but to really know it, you need to experience the horrors of grief explored here. King does too good of a job with the descriptions in this book, to the point that it got me to tear up several times. I would definitely recommend this book to those who can handle its dark subject matter.
