Pet Sematary

by Stephen King

Renowned for its superior productions, BBC radio may have outdone itself by adapting Stephen King's Pet Sematary to audio.

“One of my favorite movie adaptations of a King novel was with this one. Showing what happens when you just can't let go of the things you love when you lose them. But despite that desire to make things all better, King shows us that "sometimes dead is better" because "what you bury is what you own and what you own always comes back to ya".

A unique tale involving an evil indian burial ground and the living dead, what more could you want. Great book!”

    “Try reading this book your first time out of the country. Stay in a cave right off the cove of a beautiful beach. Then, add a trail. It goes back away from the cave into the hills and out of site. Top it off by reading it at night by flashlight alone.

    I love my life and my experiences. This was awesome. ”
