This is a look at Stephen King’s Cujo, and a peek at how the novel is anything but the blood-hungry deranged dog fable many consider it to be.Ĭujo is set in the now-familiar locale of Castle Rock, Maine, seat of King’s fictional Castle County. Oh, yeah, and there’s a Saint Bernard with a particularly sh*tty case of rabies. It takes a glance at the economic impact of the late 1970s, festering on into a new decade-an oozy abscess that would eventually consume a major swath of America’s working-class demographic.
It shines light on common feelings of yearning, chasing after change at any detrimental cost. It concerns itself with the inner workings of marred relationships through distinctly different lenses. It’s a story-a modern fairytale-about the human heart and the cold winds of discontent that sometimes bellow through it. In 1981, Stephen King unleashed (pun intended) a novel both partially overlooked and wholly misunderstood.
