Cujo by Stephen King. Viking Press, 1981. First Edition First printing. Hardcover.
A psychological horror novel centered on a once-gentle St. Bernard that contracts rabies, transforming a rural domestic setting into a prolonged siege. King dispenses with supernatural explanation, instead deriving terror from confinement, heat, and the breakdown of ordinary life - an approach characteristic of his early 1980s work.
As a stated first edition and first printing from Viking Press, this copy represents the earliest trade state of one of King’s major period novels. First printings of King’s 1980s hardcovers remain a foundational collecting category in modern American horror.
Condition: Clean copy; firm binding; bright jacket; no writing noted.
