Cujo is so much more than just a tragic tale of a dog, it’s a trajic story of two families falling apart in very different ways. A marriage in shambles after an affair. A woman stuck with an abusive, controlling husband. And a good boy who just happened to get rabies.
I went into this book just expecting a big focus on Cujo, but all these dynamics in Castle Rock made the book just as terrifying to me. This is, in my opinion, what King does best, quietly building a whole town full of messy lives and layered relationships, and then showing just how fast everything can fall apart.
In the end, Cujo was always a good boy 💔 he was just hit with something far beyond his control.
