Hey, oh, let's go.

Aye, oh, let's go.

I, oh, let's go.

I, oh, let's go.

The fumbling in stage not.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King.

Each week I review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication.

And this week, I examine 1983's truly horrific novel, Pet Cemetery.

So for those of you who are first tuning into the Stephen King cast, welcome.

In earlier episodes, I have referred to Stephen King as a

very optimistic writer one who writes you know some horrific things but despite the horrors in his

novel and you know in in the face of the horrors of his novel, the good guys usually win the day,

and it's a celebration of all of the best aspects of humanity.

That's not necessarily on display here in Pet Cemetery.

Pet Cemetery is, I'm not going to call it a pessimistic look.

I mean, it doesn't speak about the ills of humanity.

It's simply that it's just, it's a dark book.

And I know that it's anecdotally one that has turned off a lot of people that I know.

And I can see why.

It's not a very pleasant read.

It's thrilling.

It's vivid and its imagery.
