Cujo is about the characters and what King puts them through. King makes it work because of his skill and talent as a writer.Ĭujo isn’t about a rabid dog that kills four people including its owner. I know both of these writers have fans but I think they represent the rancid turd of fiction. Something befitting of Frank D Felitta or John Saul. In a less skilled writer than King, Cujo would be the worst kind of crass, pulpy horror. A dog gets bitten by an infected bat, get rabies and goes on a killing spree that last four days. The plot of Cujo sounds like the worst sort of crass, low budget horror movie. What happens next, how Cujo becomes a horrifying vortex, inexorably drawing in all the people around him, makes for one of Stephen King’s most terrifying, heart-stopping novels yet… Then Cujo chases a rabbit into a bolthole – a cave inhabited by some very sick bats. Cujo is a two-hundred pound Saint Bernard, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had.
