I loved Pet Sematary! While not a typical jump-scare type of horror, the psychological horror exploring death and grief is proufoundly unsettling. I completely agree with you about the believable characters and well paced intriguing aspects of the story. I hope you enjoy Salem’s Lot!
YES! I'm 60 pages into Salem's Lot and already just feel creeped out. I love how King's books make you feel differently. Or different variations of horror. Misery I felt more cringe and uncomfortable. Pet Sematary I felt more sad and depressed, and unsettled. Now with Salem's Lot I feel actually creeped out and scared. Haunted houses are awesome.
A lightbulb just came on and I thought why not change it up with the intro and tie it into the actual book I'm reviewing lol. Love to hear it! What are you currently reading?
Thomas, I found your channel a few days ago, and binged every single one of your videos, (besides the Wheel of Time update which features spoilers.) I absolutely love your channel's vibe compared to every other BookTube channel I've discovered. You're calm, no crazy edits, and you're just a genuine guy. I wouldn't have ever called myself a reader, but recently, my girlfriend had recommended I read Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. I'm over 200 pages in and I've only had the book for a week. To go from never wanting to read, especially avoiding assigned books in school... To being just about finished with my first novel in many years... I owe it to your videos. I'm very excited to watch all your future videos. I just picked up Game of Thrones, as I am currently watching that with a friend (I'm on season 2). I think I'll stick with fantasy/sci-fi for the future. I'm glad to join this journey of reading.
I'm an emotional guy and it's hard not to get water in the eyes reading this. Thank you. I'm so happy for you dude. Starting the journey of reading is truly magical. Especially the sense of accomplishment you get from it. And not just that but the enjoyment you get from reading a book you genuinely like. I'm so excited for you to embark on this incredible journey!
@@Thomas.R.Howell good morning. I only read it once a while ago but i do remember loving it because it took me by surprise. It was something very different from other King books I had read prior. Also, a big part of it was that I was grieving at the time and surprisingly, it brought me comfort in a way I can't quite explain. 11/23/63 is my favorite book of his. I read it then my husband read it right after me. My husband doesn't even like Stephen King books, but that is one he really liked
@@radiantchristinaThat is the beauty of books and good storytelling. It's amazing how a book comes along at the right time in life. At the right season of life. And finds a little space in our hearts and stays there. For a very long time. That is Name of the Wind for me. I've heard AMAZING things about 11/23/63.
I came here because of your comment on my video saying that you've read Pet Sematary & I'm so glad to have watched your review! I have many SK books on my TBR now and this is definitely the one I'm looking forward to reading the most. Btw the intro was soo eerie, you definitely captured the essence of SK's kind of horror so well.
I'm so happy you stopped by! Thank you! I really wanted to do something different with my intro and tie it in with the theme of Pet Sematary lol. What other SK books are on your list?
Dude, no way. I just started reading Pet Semetary for Spooky Season too. And it is SO good. I now get why King is so popular. I love your channel. Plus you should do a tutorial video on drip coffee prep. Keep up the dope work!
Let's gooo! I love the timing of that. You'll have to tell me your thoughts when you finish. Thank you dude. That means so much. What. great idea. I'll have to get my wife involved since she is the true coffee professional.
I was planning to start Salem’s Lot upon finishing Tender is the Flesh, but after I finished it I felt like having read 2 books back to back that were sad/dark/disturbing I needed a palate-cleanser first - so I started reading Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. The Color of Magic is just what I needed mood-wise - an absurdist fantasy story that makes me laugh. Salem’s Lot is on-deck though. SO MANY THOUGHTS about Tender is the Flesh. Been wanting to record a video about it. Last couple days have been super busy though.
Oh my goodness I have heard of that book. My sister in-law told me the premise and it sounded gut wrenching. Discworld is the perfect cleanser haha! I might have to read a short pallet cleanser after this double Stephen King feature. I will absolutely keep an eye on your video I am very curious!
I vividly remember reading Pet Sematary a couple of years ago, and it was my first Stephen King. I love watching horror movies and all the spooky feels, but I was a bit sceptical about trying horror books, as in I wasn't sure if it would be scary at all. I read the book over a rainy week, and I was definitely spooked by it, a bit. Then one night I was telling my sister about this book and how good it was, and I started narrating it to her. While narrating the events of that book, I felt really uncomfortable and even shivered a little. I told her that I'll continue the rest next morning. So that was my experience with Pet Sematary, I realised how scary that book was while narrating it than when I was reading it.
I am also not really a huge fan of rating books out of 5, or any number for that matter. It kind of feels like a really simple sum up of what someone thought about a book, which can be good! But I would much rather hear the full thoughts than just seeing “4.5/5” Great review by the way! Pet Cemetery has been one of the books that I always push off until fall to read, and then when the time comes I’m already in another book. But your video gives the vibe that I should finally pick it up this fall lol
I agree. Rating systems seem so arbitrary. I would rather provide in-depth thoughts and conversation than give it a random number. It's a perfect book for fall OR you can join me on Salem's Lot! Both I think are fitting for this season.
Ahhh I just came across your channel and coincidentally finished reading Pet Sematary for the first time yesterday too! Totally agree with you-it didn’t hit me as hard since I’m not a parent, but loved the book nonetheless, and the perspective change at the end was phenomenal. Keep up the great work!
I'm about 60 pages in and I'm loving it! King has a way of making these characters and town feel so real. Mainly because of his use of history. Providing background to it all. How the characters are connected to this town and their relationship to this town. I love a good haunted house book for October.
@@DynaMike89 Probably not for the Outsider just because I didn't finish it. But with Salem's Lot I absolutely want to have a review for it. I want to review books that I have much to say about whether it be good or bad.
I have been wanting to pick it up for quite a lot of time now.but putting it off because i heard somewhere it really gore(is it?). Now that you said cozy ,i am tempted to read😅
This is one of my favourite stephen king books, for how personal it feels, in summary the book is about the trauma of loss, the pain of grieff, the desalotaion of the soul of the charactrs, especially with the sister of the wife of the protsgonist (forgot their names lol)
Raw and visceral is how I'd describe this book. The themes of loss and grief and the emotions that comes with that really stuck with me, especially as a parent.
King wrote PS and The Outsider during completely different times in his career. I haven’t read The Outsider so that’s a bummer to hear. Pet Sematary and Salem’s Lot are two of my favorites.
cozy review. the first S.King i read was the Stand and then to the Dark Tower and The Regulators. i was impressed how he melds styles and yes, pacing and characterization. have you read Sutter Kane? remember that from In the Mouth of Madness? none of these were relatable until i read Hearts in Atlantis. i think it contains the first inklings of the Dark Tower. i grew up in its milieu, or slightly after and played lots of Hearts in my time, along with the inversion, Spades. i missed the Vietnam draft by one month in '75 so i was engrossed. i'm still finishing up Simmons' dystopian Flashback due to a lot a chores and great weather here. i found 2 for the TBR at the thrift: A Hole in Texas, speculative fiction, almost Sci-fi by Herman Wouk, a new author for me, and Exhalation by Ted Chiang, a collection of stories. stoked to get into both of those. excellent intro.
I would love to dive into the Dark Tower sometime in my life. I love how King sprinkles Easter eggs here and there throughout his book. It's subtle but makes for a living and breathing world. Thank you for hanging out!
It's a really great book - perfect for autumn season and a good start for reading Stephen King, in my opinion. It's not too big, has some charming calm sections and has a great writing style in general! Maybe it's a little bit too well written. I felt like a part of the family and felt the loss. So the horror is real!
Pet Sematary is probably King's darkest book. He's written all kinds of horror, but there's something so dismal and hopeless about this one that stands out. Most of his other books usually portray the triumph of good over evil. But not this one. It goes to show that King himself was reluctant to publish this one. In his words, he had "gone too far." "Sometimes, dead is better." Chills. I'm currently making my way through Salem's Lot. It's an especially fascinating read having the wider context of King's career and life as a whole. The way he builds small towns is so haunting yet beautiful in a way. His older books also have a charm that can only be captured in the time they were written. Its a window into the 70s, in a way, yet it doesn't feel dated at all. King books generally age like fine wine. Another thing. Have you ever considered reading his Dark Tower series?
I love everything you said here. I totally feel that way with Salem's Lot! Probably finishing it tonight or tomorrow! His work is amazing. I also love how he writes the depravity of man and how characters are morally conflicted. I have absolutely considered reading the dark tower series. But right now I am going to dive back into Wheel of Time and once I am through with that I plan on reading stand alone books and maybe a trilogy here and there. After reading a 14 book series, I'll need a break from sagas and series for a bit lol
@@Thomas.R.Howell excellent! For what its worth, the dark tower is my second favorite story, right behind the lord of the rings. There is nothing like it in the world. I have about 150 pages left in Salems Lot, and I have to say its very good! I really enjoy the way he builds the town and weaves together the story of each character. Also, I'm so excited to see your thoughts on the last trilogy of WOT books. Its pretty much unanimously agreed among the fandom that Sanderson is the best person (besides Jordan himself) to have finished the series. And oh man did he do a more than stellar job.
@@Thomas.R.Howell he is. No one describes dread like he does. I recommend Salem's Lot, Misery, Cujo, Carrie, Duma Key and The Dead Zone. Love how chill your videos are.
@@Thomas.R.Howell Oh yeah, definitely. Grief and death are very tough topics for me it's something that hits very hard. At the same time It's makes me realize it's all about the cycle of Life. Many blessings my dear friend 🙏
I heard they just came out with a new film on HBO....looks like it didn't do to well. But once I'm done reading the book my wife and I will watch the movie. Even if it's bad!
@@noodlemans haha I agree. It's funny my wife knows and understands the ins and outs of coffee more than most people. She has like 10+ years of experience with coffee. Yet she prefers a little cream and sugar in her coffee.
Just finished Salem's Lot! Loved it! I'll absolutely be making a review for it. I still want to watch both versions just to have fun with those adaptations.
Currently reading The Stand as an Intro for the dark tower series. So far its a glorious ride and since Covid hit the world its even better. Loved the rating of pet semetary tbh 😂
@@unpretentious_book_talk i heard that the complete version with the extra 300+ pages did it better. Did you read the uncut version? I can handle "bad" endings since for me the journey is more important than a ending I like. Now i am curious thou XD
@@DynaMike89 Yep. I read the uncut version. Normally I always want the unabridged version of any book, but at the end of this one I kinda agreed with the decision to cut some stuff - like a really long chapter about Trashcan Man and a dude simply known as “The Kid”.
@@unpretentious_book_talk Oh i think I read this scene yesterday....it was disturbing but I think it gave the trash can man a little more deptht. But maybe the end changes my mind here....for me the book seems to have no lenghts since there are so many characters you follow that the moment it starts to drag a little the scene switches to another location or character which makes it a quick read for me....even thou the book has 1300+ pages or so XD
Pet Cemetery is definitely over rated. I am a parent of 4 kids and I still don’t get the hype. I too was expecting more from this book…all over TH-cam everyone was saying how scary it was…to me as you have said, it was a cozy read period.
I realized I forgot the M in Ambiguity… I guess that’s what happens when you add a last minute title at 5am 🤦♂️😂
I loved Pet Sematary! While not a typical jump-scare type of horror, the psychological horror exploring death and grief is proufoundly unsettling. I completely agree with you about the believable characters and well paced intriguing aspects of the story. I hope you enjoy Salem’s Lot!

@@connermcdonald2024 Thank you! Ugh Misery is so so good.
Ive read this book 6 year ago..The fight at the funeral is still very much imbeded in my memory.
This is fortuitous as I'm planning on reading Pet Sematary this month! I've never read a Stephen King book before, so we'll see how it goes!

After reading a handful of King's classics, I think Misery is still my all time favorite. Pet Sematary takes second. Salem's third!
Glad you liked it!

I LOVED Misery! It was my first King book. It might be my #1 fav of his
Yeah I have salems lot at home. really should read it.
Just finished the book, and while I enjoyed it, it did not scare me at all. It was a great but I have to read a King book that actually scared me.
Yeah I've yet to read something from him that genuinely scares me. I've enjoyed everything I've read of his but I want to be frightened!
pet semetary is one of my all time favourite books, honestly king is a genius
so so sooo good
Currently reading Salem's Lot. Loved the original miniseries that I saw when I was a kid.
I heard they just came out with a new film on HBO....looks like it didn't do to well. But once I'm done reading the book my wife and I will watch the movie. Even if it's bad!

YES! Totally agree. It's my way of respecting the drink of coffee. The beans. The depth and layers. The flavors.

I wouldn’t say it’s overrated but I do think it wasn’t as scary as some people made it out to be
@@Thomas.R.Howell I thought both Pet Cemetery and Salem’s Lot were both over rated
