I still haven't braved the horror genre yet either! But I love thrillers so I feel I need to! Pet Sematary as a movie made me really emotional. I'm not sure I could brave this particular book... especially with how stressed you were!
You've found the beauty of King's writing, and the reason he has remained so popular. He's got this way of adding horror and suspense elements that are not super over the top. It mainly upsetting, but in a way that really stays with you. For instance, I read Carrie a few months ago, and have reads five or six books since, and still find myself thinking back to elements of that book. I recommend 11/22/63 to everyone who is getting into King...it one of my 10 favorite books of all time.
I read Pet Semitary in high school, it was great. I recently reread it as a parent and it's a totally different book. So much more compelling and emotional. It's one of his best. I think you'd love " cujo". Cujo is unlike the movie in the way that cujo isn't just a mindless killer, he has an inner voice that the movie does not convey. That voice makes you feel sorry for him bc he himself doesn't understand what is going on. Scary is a very subjective word. It doesn't mean you'll be terrified or afraid to me scary just means it's a book that's not all sweet and nice, there's a twist.
Hi, just wanted to say i really enjoyed your video. Am very happy to subscribe. I am an avid reader and have only recently been using youtube from a book point of view. Its been well over 30 years since i read Pet Semetary but i remember enjoying it. I have read over 60 of Stephen kings works, think i started in the mid 80s ish. I would love to see you review "It". Its obviously an epic but is very, very good. I would also heartedly recommend his unabridged version of The Stand (which is about 1400 pages) Even his lesser well loved books are still better than a lot of authors best. HIs short story collections are fantastic as is his novella collections. Im also sure you will love his Holly Gibney character from his later works. She is a kind of supernatural private detective and she is great. I will look through your other videos, best wishes to you and happy Christmas 👍
Thank you for subscribing! Wow that's amazing, you've read so many of his books! IT and The Stand are on my to be read list, as well as Under the Dome and The Gunslinger...I'm actually currently reading The Shining too and will (hopefully) be posting a video of that soon :) Welcome to the book side of TH-cam!
@AntheaReads I will look forward to your review of The Shining. Again I cant really remember it too well, all I know is Stephen King was not happy with the film version, as good as that is. Under the Dome is a cracker. The Gunslinger is part of the 8 book Dark Tower series so strap in if you start that. The last book I read of his was Fairy Tale and that was fantastic. I do hope you discover Holly Gibney, think shes in 4 or 5 novels and a novella. All the best.
I read Pet Sematary as one of my scary October reads and really enjoyed it. It's less about fright and more about grieving. It's a very heavy book and as one of his shorter books, it gets you there fast. If you like King and want to try one of his non-horror, he did a really good historical fiction/magical realism book called 11/22/63 about a man who travels back in time to try and prevent the JFK Assassination. It's a little long, but well worth it. Currently sitting as my second favorite book of all time behind Les Misérables.
I’ve been on something of a King kick myself. Some of them haven’t been horror at all, but even the ones that were classified as horror in their labeling, I didn’t really feel like they were horror, suspense, maybe thriller, but at no point where they scary so far and some of them were definitely intended to be

This is my favorite of his books. Glad you enjoyed it!

Agreed! He's a very clever writer. I've read 11.22.63 too and really enjoyed that one :)
@@AntheaReads 11/22/63 was amazing

Been on my list to read for years! I'm amazed that all i really know about it still is the Ramones song 😅.

So true, it definitely deals with some heavy things and not just "boo!" type of horror. I read 11.22.63 and really enjoyed that one !

If you wanna talk about the book with spoilers, you can do a review at the end of the vlog. Or a different video! Love your cat!
