Pet Sematary (1983) is a novel by Stephen King. The novel explores the issues of the permanence of death, and whether it is something to be accepted or fought. By the author's own reference, the story line owes something to The Monkey's Paw, a folk tale best known from a version written by W.W. Jacobs. King's novel goes a step beyond the folk tale in considering what would happen if the possessor of the paw's power failed to realize his error after the second wish.
