An instant fan-favorite and #1 bestseller when it was originally published in print in 1983, PET SEMATARY follows Dr. Louis Creed as he takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic and rural town of Ludlow, Maine. Despite the town's seeming tranquility, there is an undercurrent of danger from just beyond a graveyard 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.
