CUJO
"The world was full of monsters, and they were all allowed to bite the innocent and the unwary"
One of the beloved horror author's most popular books, CUJO received a film adaptation two years after its release, as well as something of a sequel story in RATTLESNAKES, which was included in King's book of short stories, YOU LIKE IT DARKER (2024). CUJO was written during a time when King was deep in the throes of alcoholism, as he recalls in his best-selling memoir ON WRITING: "[t]here's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all. I don't say that with pride or shame, only with a vague sense of sorrow and loss. I like that book. I wish I could remember enjoying the good parts as I put them down on the page."
