Summary This article contains spoilers for Cujo and "Rattlesnakes" from Stephen King's You Like It Darker.

Related How Stephen King Raised Me I started reading Stephen King when I was only 10 years old, and being exposed to the King of Horror's writing shaped me in significant ways. I thought "Rattlesnakes" was an even smarter take on a Cujo sequel than I expected. I was glad to learn Stephen King still has the power to surprise me.

Interestingly, though, Vic holds no animosity for Cujo. A retired ad man, Vic's character is a pragmatist and knows that the dog couldn't help its actions being so far gone to rabies. The death of Tad in Cujo ultimately forced Vic and Donna's marriage to fall apart after the events of the novel. Donna, too, is now dead, having recently passed from cancer. Even so, his respect for Donna squaring off against the 150-lb.

Much like Vic, I guess I also needed some closure after Cujo. Now, more than 30 years after I first read it, I can appreciate Vic's haunted memories, the way his marriage dissolved in their shared but separate grief. I have no kids, but I have had a relationship that has fallen apart that, with the benefit of hindsight and time, I might have handled differently. That's what's so brilliant about "Rattlesnakes.
