An episode from 9/7/22: Tonight I spend an hour talking about Stephen King\\u2019s 1983 novel, \\u2060Pet Sematary\\u2060. The anxieties attached to being a parent have rarely book put this memorably, cloaked as it is in the kind foreordained doom we expect from Grimm\\u2019s Fairy Tales. Does the book also succeed so well because King\\u2019s usual strengths\\u2014gore and horror, sure, but also sheer entertainment, sentimentality, and suspense\\u2014have no place here, next to simple devastation?
