There’s an inevitability to the events that make reading feel like watching a train crash you’re uncomfortable, you know what’s going to happen… but you still keep turning the pages. The story segments come in a steady succession of paragraphs, with no chapter breaks. The meat of the story is in the events that lead up to the Pinto there’s the husband Vic with his work problems, there’s Donna’s spurned lover with his petty revenge, there’s Cujo the dog getting bit by a bat, and so on. This simple story about a rabid dog has a vicious, nervous quality to it, the way it determinedly moves the characters around, setting them up for a final showdown: the Trentons, Donna and her son Tad, cooped up in a broken Pinto while Cujo, a giant, insane St. Surely it’s no The Shining or Salem’s Lot, but there’s a sheer, unbridled energy in these pages. ![]() Supposedly written under the influence, Cujo’s rather modest position in King’s canon belies its quality as a powerful piece of horror. ![]() Man’s best friend goes on a rampage in Cujo, a 1981 novel by Stephen King. ![]()

Overview Nathanson agreed with the president and issued a counterstatement. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued a statement in response to the president's comment, saying that the neurological pathways necessary to experience pain do not begin to develop until the third trimester of pregnancy. In a speech to the Association of National Religious Broadcasters in January 1984, Reagan stated that a fetus suffers "long and agonizing pain" during an abortion.

I was a big Goosebumps reader as a kid, so I felt like I had to have that one on my shelf. The only one I have that you don’t is Phantom of the Auditorium from the Goosebumps series.

In 1900, Gilman married her cousin, George Houghton Gilman, and experienced for the first time a fulfilling relationship that endured until Houghton Gilman’s death in 1934. She divorced her husband in 1894 and, believing in equal paternal rights, send her daughter to live with him. To improve her health, Gilman moved to California with her daughter in 1888 and spent much of the following years writing and lecturing on topics such as feminism, marriage, social reform and women’s role in society. This experience inspired her to her famous short story, The Yellow Wallpaper (1892) about a woman’s descend into madness. Gilman married artist Charles Stetson in 1884, but domestic life proved unsuited to her, and after the birth of their daughter, Katharine, she began to suffer from depression.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an American writer, philosopher and social reformer. ![]() ![]() ![]() If I had to describe it I'd say "it is the epitome of languid". Even in one of her books, which I did not like, the writing is amazing. You get addicted from that first sentence which is such a tease that after reading it(the sentence), you slowly sink into your chair knowing you are about to read something really special.

Emma is clearly unwell, so her decision to go back to the site of her trauma makes some sense, but it’s hard to believe that the camp’s owners would want her back, especially since she played a pivotal role in turning one of them into a suspect and nearly ruining his life.
