"It" and "Pet Sematary"

- "Pet Sematary" is also terrifyingly scary. Its horror feels all too real, as almost everyone has experience with death.
"Misery" and "The Shining"
- "Misery" may leave you questioning interest in gaining celebrity. It makes you distrust friendly people. Though King wrote it as an analogy for feeling "chained" to horror, this book made us never want to trust a stranger again.
- "The Shining" details a man’s descent into madness. His family pays the price. Even upon multiple reads, the novel fills you with suspense. The eerie Overlook Hotel setting cements the dread.
