What are some of the moments that made you cringe?
Are there any scenes that took you by surprise?
Any gross-out moments?
Depressing? Shocking? I want to hear about it. If you'd simply put your answer in spoilers and leave only the book title for each spoiler that would aid all of us. Thank you.
There are more but I will wait for others to contribute.

One graphic and depressing scene is when Vic asks Donna about Tad, "How long has he been dead?". She has to be sedated and in a wild outburst she picks up the bat and starts clubbing Cujo's corpse; all the while her dead son is lying on a stretcher. You can just imagine her delirium and exhaustion in the sweltering heat. Gut-wrenching.
I was sort of taken off guard by the gun penetration scene with The Kid and Trashy. I didn't know why Trashcan Man didn't speak up afterwards. I mean, I know that he was scared but...he could've killed him in his sleep. I still try to understand the psychology of this scene and its relevance to the story. I'm curious what others thought.
I thought the Timmy Baterman animated corpse was just horrific. The maggots crawling across his scalp, his dusty dead hair, his walk...all of it. I can imagine the paralysis that would come over someone if they were to witness such a thing. My skin crawls. The scenes where Louis digs up Gage are so dark. The reader almost wants to enter the book to warn Louis. Stop! The reader just holds their breath.
The death of Anne, Bobbi's sister. Enough said.
I felt sick to my stomach at one scene in particular. I didn't see it coming. Thomas resents his brother and the love bestowed on him from his father. In that frame of mind he stones a dog to death, hating himself all the while. Sad, awful, ugly...just a brilliant look into Thomas's psyche.
