Try to go in with as little expectations as possible.
Fear is subjective and I found neither book particularly scary. I thoroughly enjoyed both though. I had heard Pet Semetery was supposed to be his scariest book and in all honesty, I'd consider it more depressing than anything (some chilling scenes though).
Can't really recommend Doctor Sleep as a follow up, it's alright, but no where near The Shining.
