Ep-82 Pet Sematary (1983 novel) part one

Often touted as Stephen King’s most frightening novel, Pet
Sematary is the next title in the King Renaissance up for a
modern adaptation. Join Luke & James as they read the iconic
novel leading up to the new movie directed by Kevin Kölsch and
Dennis Widmyer. This episode covers “Part One: The Pet Sematary”
of the 3-part novel. In this section, readers are introduced to
the Creed family: Louis, Rachel, Ellie, and Gage, as well as
their family cat Church. Jud and Norma Crandall are their new
neighbors in Ludlow, ME, and their meeting kicks off one of
King’s darkest tales.

Topics Include: Connections to the rest of King’s work, the
nature of frightening stories, the real-life inspiration for the
novel, the purpose of the foreshadowing, the first time the hosts
were confronted with death, the things that connect us with past
generations, and Luke opens up some about his mother’s death.
