Pet Cemetary is pretty sweet, but as with most Stephen King books, the ending was ruined because King just
had to show the monster too much for the sake of a boring climax. Same thing happened with
Salem's Lot. That ending was just terrible.

Carrie is great if you accept that it's the first book of a thriller writer. It's unpolished and kind of amateurish at times TBH, but has far more emotional impact for me than his other books.
