Few writers can make the everyday quite as frightening as Stephen King. In Carrie and Pet Sematary, familiar worlds of school, family and home become places where something far darker is waiting just beneath the surface.

King’s first published novel, Carrie introduces an unforgettable teenage outsider whose extraordinary powers have terrifying consequences. In Pet Sematary, a family’s new home near an ancient burial ground leads to a devastating story of grief, love and the dangerous desire to undo the unthinkable. Both novels deliver the page-turning horror King is famous for while finding something deeply human beneath the scares.
