Cujo is a
1981 novel by
Stephen King about a rabid
St. Bernard Dog[?] who becomes a threat to a trapped mother and her son. The most unusual stylistic element of the book is that it occasionally switches to the perspective of the dog, Cujo. Other than that it is a well-paced thriller with few
supernatural elements. It is generally not perceived as King's best work, and at 319 pages (Hardcover Edition by
Viking Press[?]) it is one of his shorter ones.
Cujo was turned into a 1983 movie directed by Lewis Teague[?]. The script was written by Don Carlos Dunaway[?] and Lauren Currier[?].
