The True Horror of Pet Sematary

Happy Halloween!
To celebrate this wonderful dark holiday Bambi Ramblebable babels all about Stephen King's most terrifying piece of fiction, no not that one, Pet Sematary.
This video essay analyzes Pet Sematary's narrative and structure while contrasting it with its classic 1989 film adaptation, digging deep into the thematic loam of this frightening tome to show why while this is often considered to be Stephen King's darkest work it's actually even darker and more horrifying than it is given credit for. It's not just Stephen King's scariest novel, it's also his most painful. Pet Sematary is a narrative designed to hurt while suggesting life is nothing more than a danse macabre from the womb to the tomb. Perfect for Halloween.
Let's talk about it. Won't you join us?
