Cujo

The #1 national bestseller for Stephen King’s rabid fans, Cujo “hits the jugular” (New York Times) with the story of a friendly Saint Bernard that is bitten by a sick bat.

Get ready to meet the most hideous menace ever to savage the flesh and devour the mind. "Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine." Cujo used to be a big friendly dog, lovable and loyal to his trinity (THE MAN, THE WOMAN, and THE BOY) and everyone around him, and always did his best to not be a BAD DOG.

But that all ends on the day this nearly two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard makes the mistake of chasing a rabbit into a hidden underground cave, setting off a tragic chain of events.

Now Cujo is no longer himself as he is slowly overcome by a growing sickness, one that consumes his mind even as his once affable thoughts turn uncontrollably and inexorably to hatred and murder.

Cujo is about to become the center of a horrifying vortex that will inescapably draw in everyone around him—a relentless reign of terror, fury, and madness from which no one in Castle Rock will truly be safe.... "Hits the jugular . . .

King's most disturbing horror yet." —New York Times "A biting novel of gut-twisting terror and suspense." —Publishers Weekly "A word of advice: read it in your well-lighted home, behind locked doors, when you're snug in your own bed." —Denver Post
