About this listen

 For the first time in unabridged audio download comes the perennial classic from Stephen King - timeless and topical.

The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed.

Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.

Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.

But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.

A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.

I have wanted this book to come to Audible for a long time now.
Listened to it in two days & loved every minute of it, definitely worth the wait & Michael C. Hall's narration was superb. Highly recommended for any constant reader.

One of my favourite Stephen King novels

I’m not the biggest fan of King’s work, from my experience. I absolutely adored Carrie, but that’s been about the only book that I’ve been able to get through other than this one and I’ve gotta say that’s largely due to the narration.

Michael C Hall reads this beautifully. His voice is like butter.

If you’re wanting to listen to an audiobook for the first time and are interested in King’s work then I would definitely recommend listening to Pet Semetary.

The story is decent and maybe I would have liked it more if I hadn’t have seen the terrible film adaptations. Who knows.

But I fully recommend listening to anything Michael C Hall does.

amazing!! listening to pet sematary read to you by Dexter?! on Halloween week? madness and not to be missed. if you don't know the story, you're in for a treat and some tough topics. if you do know the story, you're in for a treat, tough topics and a whole fresh experience because the narrator does an amazing job of all characters, pace, clarity, emotion dread annnndd no mouth noises at all - no swallowing or clicking ( two things that make me want to puke, explode and run away all at once). treat yourselves to a Halloween delight!

one of my all time fave stories and narrator

Never read a Stephen King before. I can see why he is so popular. This book was utterly terrifying.
Brilliantly read; I am a slow reader, so I look for a good narration to digest stories that would normally take me an age to finish. This narration was lovely. The key characters all had distinct voices and were performed, rather than read.
The story itself was completely terrifying. Granted, I am a total wimp and can't watch horror films. But I love the themes of horror stories so I thought a book would allow me to imagine the horror to a degree I found spooky yet comfortable. Alas not, but that is testament to the writing. I FELT the fear throughout. King has so expertly woven the sensation of fear in this story, I found myself crying on several occasions from sheer dread, the descriptions so vivid that I felt them myself- the goosebumps, the cold shivers, the involuntary tears.

This is a must read/listen for any horror fans!
Wimps like myself, be warned. Scary as it is, you have to see it through to the end. It compels you to!

Totally Chilling

This is my favourite Stephen King book and this is by far the best narration I’ve heard on Audible. I hope Michael C. Hall reads more!

Amazing
