Donna wonders if the dog’s been sent to punish her for her infidelity. Donna and Tad become trapped in their broken down car by the dog. Their four year old son senses friction between them. The rabid dog is just the back-drop.ĭonna Trenton’s marriage is in trouble when her husband Viv, finds out she’s been having an affair with the local stud. 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.
