Halloween coming up so here’s a spooky themed bookmark for you. I think Pet Sematary is one of King’s best books so I didn’t mind splurging a few bucks for this one.
Book: Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! ed. by Otto Penzler

Dead Zone,Christine and Firestarter my faves Pet Cemetery was OK though. Lovely bookmark- haven’t you got the book to go with it?

I do, but I couldn’t find it. Plus it’s a tiny mass market paperback and I try to choose larger format books so you can see the whole bookmark against an open page. You see all the thought and planning that goes into this?

I didn’t care for Pet because I thought it ended where it should have begun, ie, zombies. Plus, the old guy detailing his unfaithfulness to his wife wasn’t what I wanted to read about either.
Way better than his Mr Mercedes trilogy though 😀
Any ideas of why he spelled it “Sematary”? It totally messes me up every time I look it up because I spell cemetery correctly and get no entry and I’m like “I KNOW I read this book, where is it?”.

It’s spelled that way I think because it’s the name the kids give the cemetery and they don’t know how to spell.
Families falling apart are King’s favourite theme, so I had no problem following along here. I thought this was a period when he was really writing at the height of his powers. Haven’t read the Mr. Mercedes stuff. To be honest, I thought those were written by his son for some reason.

That makes sense. It definitely looks childish.
Mr Mercedes was his foray into the non-supernatural. It was just as disturbing though, if not more so in some ways.

I love the difference between the cat in the movie and the cat in real life…

You can train cats to become actors? Think it’s mostly just makeup and wardrobe.
