October = Halloween and Stephen King

We are celebrating the month of All Hallows Eve with a novel by the Scare Master himself, Stephen King. After much weighing of the many frightening possibilites, we settled on Pet Semetary. Below is the novel's synopsis as it appears on King's website:



The road in front of Dr. Louis Creed's rural Maine home frequently claims the lives of neighborhood pets. Louis has recently moved from Chicago to Ludlow with his wife Rachel, their children and pet cat. Near their house, local children have created a cemetery for the dogs and cats killed by the steady stream of transports on the busy highway. Deeper in the woods lies another graveyard, an ancient Indian burial ground whose sinister properties Louis discovers when the family cat is killed.



What this synopsis does not reveal is that Louis visits the burial ground on a second occassion; this time instead of the family pet, he brings family.



Join us for the discussion of this novel on Wednesday, November 11.



The Everettberg Theatre premier of Pet Semetary will be Friday, November 13.
