The #1 national bestseller for Stephen King's rabid fans, Cujo 'hits the jugular' (The 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. 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. Cujo will forever change how you view man's best friend.… (mehr)
Der Schrecken in dieser Geschichte basiert auf ganz einfachen Motiven: Ein gefährlicher Hund und das vielleicht im Wandschrank lauernde unbekannte Grauen sind Angstmacher aus der Kindheit. Aber dieser elementare, fasst triviale Horror passt genau zu dem unausgefallenen und tristen Kleinstadtleben der Protagonisten. Der Autor hat sich Zeit genommen, die Handlung langsam aufzubauen und die Spannung gekonnt zu steigern. Seine Charaktere sind einfach gezeichnet aber größtenteils sehr glaubwürdig, dadurch wirkt die Hintergrundgeschichte überaus authentisch. Tatsächlich ist die Darstellung des merkwürdig antiquarisch wirkenden täglichen Lebens Anfang der achtziger Jahre im fiktiven Castle Rock mit seinen kleinen und großen Problemen und Kämpfen die eigentliche Stärke des Buches, der böse Hund betritt dann genau die ihm zustehende Bühne. Ein solides Werk des Meisters. ( )

About suffering they were never wrong, The Old Masters: how well they understood Its human position; how it takes place While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along... —W.H. AUDEN, "Musée des Beaux Arts"
Old Blue died and he died so hard He shook the ground in my back yard. I dug his grave with a silver spade And I lowered him down with a golden chain. Every link you know I did call his name, I called, "Here, Blue, you good dog, you." —FOLK SONG
"Nope, nothing wrong here." —THE SHARP CEREAL PROFESSOR

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.

Its bones, so far as I know, still remain there with the bones of those small animals unlucky enough to have tumbled into that place before it.
