New York: The Viking Press, 1981. First printing. Fine in very good plus jacket.. First edition of King's classic horror novel about a Saint Bernard gone rabid.

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." 9.25'' x 6''.
