Cujo was Stephen King's twelfth novel, published in 1981. It's the one he doesn't remember writing, due to his alcoholism. It recalls the events of the Dead Zone, and Sheriff George Bannerman plays a large role in this one.
I read this years ago, when I was nineteen or so, and it's better than I remember it being. It links quite strongly into The Dead Zone which I hadn't read the last time I read Cujo. Specific characters are mentioned, and it's set in Castle Rock.
James Smythe has a very interesting post on Cujo as a metaphor for addiction. I'm lazy and have a cold, so I'm not going to write anything that detailed.
