I hated Pet Semetary. Regardless of the disturbing content, I thought the writing was terrible. Maybe I was too young when I read it, but it was one of the few books I've ever stopped reading before finishing. I just had zero interest in it, and I've read everything he wrote up until 2007.

That said, it was still better than Gerald's Game.

I'm surprised The Stand isn't on here, even with its terrible ending.
