Pet Sematary by Stephen King ★★★★★

A monkey slowly changes into a man then sees the Elder God of Mythos and runs like hell he caption reads A Man Grows What He Can and he Oh Shit
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die. 
- H.P. Lovecraft The Nameless City (1921) 

The most Lovecrafty of all the King’s I’ve read. 

Two men on a somnambulistic excursion into the deep woods, forgotten ancient temples under dark star-filled skies, eldritch scents, and old gods. 

The accursed spoiled land of the tree-filled cemetery yielding blasphemous monstrosities and unspeakable consequences.
Lovecraft's face superimposed on a gold star with a purple background the caption reads And They Lived Happily Ever Aft- Just Kidding They're All Dead Or Insane

*audible note: Michael C. Hall nailed this!
