From the Flap:
Can Stephen King scare even himself?
Has the author of Carrie, The Shining, Cujo, and Christine ever conceived a story so horrifying that he was for a time unwilling to finish writing it? Yes. This is it.

You do it because it gets hold of you, says the nice old man with the secret. You make up reasons . . . they seem like good reasons . . . but mostly you do it because once you've been up there, it's your place, and you belong to it . . .up in the Pet Sematary--and beyond.
Me encanta releerlo casi cada Halloween
Con King nunca vas a encontrar una mala novela pero esta es, hasta la fecha, la que menos me ha gustado. Me ha recordado muchísimo a la Chica que Amaba a Tom Gordon pero sin la concreción del peligro ni el final satisfactorio. Tiene un par de escenas potentes, pero quedan deslucidas por la inmensa montaña de paja en la que van encajadas.
