About this listen

Never before available on unabridged audio! Dexter's Michael C. Hall reads this classic horror story described by Publishers Weekly as the "most frightening novel Stephen King has ever written".

When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic, rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Yet despite Ludlow's tranquility, there's an undercurrent of danger that lingers...like the graveyard in the woods near the Creeds' home, where generations of children have buried their beloved pets.

Behind the "pet sematary", there is another burial ground, one that lures people to it with seductive promises...and ungodly temptations. 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....

What the critics say

"The narrator is Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), who can now add an Earphones Award to his resume.... Hall's narration captures the surprising humanity found on the page, but his voice becomes appropriately grim as the story barrels toward the inevitable darkness." (AudioFile)

Holy Hell!

I BLASTED through this book. Though I've watched Stephen King movies, I've never read a book til now. It was full of rich characters and dense subtext, and creepy as hell. Nothing like i expected. better than I expected!

Feeling Despair

Chilling through a use of what it would be like to lose all control. To be taken over and forced through actions leading to whatever outcome desired then throwing you into it. Despair

Does not disappoint

Michael Hall really does an amazing job narrating this novel.
Stephen King is the master of horror for a reason. This novel was enthralling. I can't believe I waited this long to finally read it - and I am glad I did so with Michael Hall at the helm.
Great book. if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it.

Definitely a must

Pet Sematary has always been one of my favourite books and Michael C. Halls voice gives it a chilling ambiance.

I would recommend this to any Stephen King, Dexter fan and anyone who enjoys horror in general.

I was hooked right from the start. Narration was amazing, loved how well he executed voices for each character.
The ending was simply terrifying and left you wanting more!

A great listen.

A classic King novel, and Michael C Hall did an awesome job narrating it. I found myself not wanting to stop the story even though I know this tale already. Highly recommend!

eeeeyup

overall a great book. Some parts are great while other parts feel overdrawn. Narrator did a good job, but some of the voices he uses for particular characters, in particular the female characters, annoy me. I liked Judd's voice though, eeeeyuuuup
