On 'Pet Sematary': A Reminder That Zombie Cats Make Terrible Pets

@Gef the Talking Mongoose I enjoyed "Under the Dome" and "Bag of bones" (though that one seems to be a love-hate proposition), as well as "From a Buick 8". "Insomnia" was also good when I was 16, but I suspect it may not hold up today; it was the first time he introduced the Gunslinger crossover stuff (just a sentence or two, though). A lot of people seem to like "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" too, but not being American, and thus generally ignorant about baseball (and, strangely, apple pies), I had a hard time with it, though I did manage to get through it because I was on an Atlantic flight. I read"Dreamcatcher" on a flight too, and it was ok on the plane and in the transit hall, but once I got home, I never opened it again. (If there were a MST3K thing for books, however, I might've. Alas.)

Lastly, Joe Hill's prose style isn't a mile away from his father's, and I thoroughly enjoyed "Horns", so I imagine New England will remain in the horror lover's heart for some time yet.

Look, when you move to a place where the food is actually edible, stuff like this tends to happen.
