Cujo Picture

Description: The second of the Castle Rock novels based in the Summer of 1980, where young Tad Trenton thinks there is a monster in the closet, but this time the monster in the closet turns out to be a rabid dog called Cujo.

It's a great example of bad things happen to good people, when Donna and Tad are trapped in a broken down Pinto with Cujo keeping them at bay, and there is no one around to help! Makes you wonder just why I named my dog Cujo…

Published: Viking, 1981

Dedication: This book is for my brother, David, who held my hand crossing West Broad Street, and who taught me how to make skyhooks out of old coathangers. The trick was so damned good I just never stopped. I love you, David.
