What’s better than Stephen King in his own words?

Now you can listen to EW’s exclusive interview with the author about the book he fears the most — Pet Sematary.

With the new film version in theaters, King looks back at why he resisted publishing the 1983 book, what made him get involved in the 1989 movie, and how he feels about the latest adaptation.

The interview was broadcast this week on the EW Radio show Behind the Scenes with Anthony Breznican, which airs on Sirius XM channel 105 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on Wednesdays.

This show also includes another interview, this one with actor John Lithgow, who discusses playing kindly old neighbor Jud Crandall on the set of the new Pet Sematary movie.
