The #1 New York Times bestseller, Cujo âhits the jugularâ (The New York Times) with the story of a friendly Saint Bernard that is bitten by a bat. Get ready to meet the most hideous menace ever to terrorize the town of Castle Rock, Maine.
Outside a peaceful town in central Maine, a monster is waiting. Cujo is a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. One day, Cujo chases a rabbit into a cave inhabited by sick bats and emerges as something new altogether.
Meanwhile, Vic and Donna Trenton, and their young son Tad, move to Maine. They are seeking peace and quiet, but life in this small town is not what it seems. As Tad tries to fend off the terror that comes to him at night from his bedroom closet, and as Vic and Donna face their own nightmare of a marriage on the rocks, there is no way they can know that a monster, infinitely sinister, waits in the daylight.
What happens to Cujo, how he becomes a horrifying vortex inescapably drawing in all the people around him, makes for one of the most heart-stopping novels Stephen King has ever written. âA genuine page-turner that grabs you and holds you and wonât let goâ (Chattanooga Times), Cujo will forever change how you view manâs best friend.

I know already that Stephen can do no wrong, at least with me. Iâm so connected of the way that this gentleman builds his stories, like it always feels slow and smooth at the beginning, but he always gives you a great end, and itâs like if he knew what I love because Iâm a total fangirl of great, big endings, like the story could be average or kinda boring, but if you give me an exciting way to put it an end, Iâm gonna love it, and it seems like he knows me well âcause he always gives me that: a lot of context and then the final punch to knock me out, and I adore it! And here I felt so bad for Cujo and for everyone else, it was a really exciting but horrible ending. I love Donna and how everything turned out with her. I love the âmonster wordsâ, that was so creative and so heartbreaking. And Iâve noticed that, of course I love the characters that Stephenâs writes, but especially I love the kind of moms and children that he writes, the relationships that he makes and how he is so connected to how they think and feel, itâs so believable. What an amazing read!
