Pet Sematary ~ How It Affected You

[FlakeNoir]

Me too Flake..I had suffered a family loss in the early eighties shortly before this came out,and it really gave me some tough moments of recall..however I think in the end,Stephen King's message of love,intense love of family,still we have to realize that sometimes we must let go..well I am okay with it..but I really don't think I will ever read the book or see the movie again,just too hard..

1982 for me, mjs... yep, this was definitely a one-off read, which is not typical for me with Stephen's stories as I've read most of them at least twice.
I'm really sorry for your loss, you never quite get over them, do you?

Read the book when first published. This is the only SK book that I read, put away with my other SK books and have not touched it since. The story hit too close to memories. Must admit I have never watched the movie. Don't think I could.

It has been a long time since I last read this. I forget what Gage said about Norma. Spoiler, please?

April 10th,1981..the anniversary just passed,yeah that was a bad day..in some ways it feels like yesterday,in some ways it feels like forever..I happened on the scene,and well it was not good..

Just finished Pet Semetary, and I really enjoyed it.. it was a great read,

and the idea of these big trucks driving very close to Louis house made my feel uneasy, that an accident was bound to happen...I thought the idea of the dead being able to return, kinda had a George Romero feel to it, and i felt so sad in parts for Louis who was willing to do anything to bring Gage back..

It was a dark story and a brilliant read...
