The Sun Dog

#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s novella The Sun Dog, published in his award-winning 1990 story collection Four Past Midnight, now available for the first time as a standalone publication.

The dog is loose again. It is not sleeping. It is not lazy. It’s coming for you.

Kevin Delavan wants only one thing for his fifteenth birthday: a Polaroid Sun 660. There’s something wrong with his gift, though. No matter where Kevin Delevan aims the camera, it produces a photograph of an enormous, vicious dog. In each successive picture, the menacing creature draws nearer to the flat surface of the Polaroid film as if it intends to break through. When old Pop Merrill, the town’s sharpest trader, gets wind of this phenomenon, he envisions a way to profit from it. But the Sun Dog, a beast that shouldn’t exist at all, turns out to be a very dangerous investment.

Kevin Delevan got a Sun Polaroid camera for his 15th birthday... But it only took the same photo. A photo of a Dog, and behind the dog was a picket fence. Kevin's younger sister Meg thinks the camera is supernatural and is a manifestation.

Oh and Pop Merrill you are one sneaky son of a B***h

This is the strangeat book I've never read, I've never read anything like it as of yet. It's an easy read and the last half I would say is a very fast paced book. Safe to say I don't want the Polaroid Camera I asked for for Christmas anymore
