Having said that, I think Pet Semetary is one of King's finest achievements. It's a book that has the courage of its convictions and not once does it try to sugar coat its message. It's almost 20 years since I last read it, but I can still remember the last line, and it still give me a chill:


"Darling," it said.


I can definitely understand why you wouldn't be able to read it again after having kids! I remember in an interview that King said it was hard just to write it cause of the subject matter.

For me, the ending of the Green Mile made me cry a bit.
