The Sun Dog
The Sun Dog | Stephen King
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen Kings 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. Its coming for you. Kevin Delavan wants only one thing for his fifteenth birthday: a Polaroid Sun 660. Theres 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 towns sharpest trader, gets wind of this phenomenon, he envisions a way to profit from it. But the Sun Dog, a beast that shouldnt exist at all, turns out to be a very dangerous investment.

Stephen might have saved the best for last in this collection. We get another appearance from Pop Merrill!!!!! I love my castle rock characters. That alone should give you the urge to pick up this collection. Love the references and it was nice to see what Pop was up to. Same old tricks. The Sun dog involves Kevin who, every time he takes a picture, there is a dog who is not present when the photo is taken...and it keeps getting closer..and closer

The suspense in this book was great, but the climax was so rushed that it felt like the build-up was all for nothing. The last page almost made up for that, but not completely.

Lauranahe This story always creeped me out. Well, the photo part, not once the dog comes out. But the idea of the image panning and the dog moving was so scary to me when I first read it years ago. 2y

This story actually creeped me out. It's about a Polaroid camera that somehow takes pictures of a black dog instead of what it's aimed at 📸

Reagan Four Past Midnight is one of my faves. The Library Policeman scares me. 4y

I think I‘ve already read this story in a short story collection years ago. 😂 I got this copy from my daughter so I guess this is a reread.

My dog may not be interested, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

“He lay awake in his bedroom, listening to a strong late-summer wind rustle the leaves outside into whispery conversation, thinking about what might make a camera take the same picture over and over and over again, and what such a thing might mean.”
