sanctis, who owned the store across the road from us, told me early on that my wife and i wanted to keep a close watch on our children, and on any pets our children might have. ‘that road has used up a lot of animals,’ julio said, a phrase that made its way into the story. and the proof of how many animals the road had used up was in the woods, beyond our rented house. a path led up through the neighboring field to a little pet cemetery in the woods… only the sign on the tree just outside this charming little makeshift graveyard read pet sematary. this phrase did more than just make it into the book; it became the title. there were dogs and cats buried up there, a few birds, even a goat. our daughter, who was eight or so at the time, had a cat …

s demise, while we were out in the neighboring yard fooling around with a kite, our toddler took it into his head to go running toward the road. i ran after him, and damned if i couldn’t hear one of those cianbro trucks coming (orinco, in the novel). either i caught him and pulled him down, or he tripped on his own; to this day, i’m not entirely sure which. when you’re really scared, your memory often blanks out. all i know for sure is that he is still fine and well and in his young manhood. but a part of my mind has never escaped from that gruesome what if: suppose i hadn’t caught him? or suppose he had fallen in the middle of the road instead of on the edge of it? i think you can see why i found the book which rose out of these incidents …

and who had never known a grandfather, never expected to find a father as he entered his middle age, but that was exactly what happened… although he called this man a friend, as a grown man must do when he finds the man who should have been his father relatively late in life. he met this man on the evening he and his wife and his two children moved into the big white frame house in ludlow. winston churchill moved in with them. church was his daughter eileen’s cat. the search committee at the university had moved slowly, the search for a house within commuting distance of the university had been hair-raising, and by the time they neared the place where he believed the house to be (all the landmarks are right… like the astrological signs the night before caesar was assassinated, louis thought morbidly,) they were all tired and …
