And this little thought, this little craving, is the seed that gave birth to monsters in both the novel and in the film adaptations.
But despite experiencing all the horrors, I still thought - maybe it could have been different with me. That the novel gave me nightmares for a while was another matter.
I lost a puppy as a boy and some years later, while reading Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, I remember wishing I too had access to a place where pets came back to life after being buried.
