Actors Who've Never Been Nominated For An Oscar, But Should Win

Pet Sematary, written by Stephen King, is a horror novel that delves into the darker aspects of human nature, exploring themes of grief, loss, and the consequences of tampering with the natural order of life and death. The story follows Dr. Louis Creed, who moves his family from Chicago to Ludlow, Maine, where he takes a job as the director of the University of Maine's campus health service. After their cat, Church, is killed by a truck, Louis's elderly neighbor, Jud Crandall, introduces him to an ancient Indian burial ground behind the 'pet sematary' where local children bury their pets. Despite warnings, Louis buries Church there, and the cat returns to life but is fundamentally different. The novel takes a darker turn when Louis's young son Gage is killed by a truck, and Louis considers using the burial ground to bring him back, despite the dire consequences that have been hinted at through the story of Timmy Baterman. The book is a profound exploration of the human fear of death and the devastating repercussions of attempting to defy it.

The novel follows Alice Howland, a celebrated Harvard professor and linguistics expert, as she navigates the devastating diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The story, told from Alice's perspective, details her increasing disorientation, memory loss, and the emotional and practical challenges she and her family face. Despite her fierce independence, Alice's sense of self is gradually stripped away, affecting her relationships with her husband, John, and their three children. The book provides a heartfelt and insightful look into the experiences of those living with Alzheimer's disease and their loved ones[2][3][5].
