Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestseller and “wild, powerful, disturbing” (The Washington Post Book World) classic about evil that exists far beyond the grave—now featuring a stunning vintage cover!

When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Despite Ludlow’s tranquility, an undercurrent of danger exists here. Those trucks on the road outside the Creed’s beautiful old home travel by just a little too quickly, for one thing…as is evidenced by the makeshift graveyard in the nearby woods where generations of children have buried their beloved pets. Then there are the warnings to Louis both real and from the depths of his nightmares that he should not venture beyond the borders of this little graveyard where another burial ground lures with seductive promises and ungodly temptations. A blood-chilling truth is hidden there—one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. As Louis is about to discover for himself sometimes, dead is better… Genre Fiction Horror Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scary Paranormal Exciting Fiction

Possibly one of the best Stephen King novels written. Followed along with an amazing narration

Great story. Chilling. The climax is a little lackluster, but excellent characters/ writing. The setup seems to call for a bigger ending but King plays it small and spooky. I had already seen the great 89 movie adaptation and was shocked upon reading this, how incredibly faithful it was to this novel. Though, I don't recommend watching it before reading this because SO much of the mystery is gone. Michael C Hall does a good job as narrator...but he does a terrible job immitating some characters voices and that pulled me out of the story. Overall, a fun, skilfully crafted horror story.

A near perfect classic.

I was hesitant to read this book after watching the original movie. The original film did not grasp/scare me (mostly because I have become spoiled by modern FX). This book however, was fantastic and chilling! Definitely worth a read, even if you did not enjoy the original movie. The performance was great 10/10 would purchase again.

Far more chilling than the 1989 movie!
