Listening to Cujo for #LosersClub. I read it when it first came out, but don‘t remember all the details, so this should be interesting. King has said he doesn‘t remember writing the book; he was so high. I don‘t recall noticing anything weird, narratively, at the time. #audiowalk
I just recently decided that I really want to own and read all of Stephen King's books (and books of short stories)! I just recently purchased this one - it's a much older book of his from early in his career - and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm actually really enjoying it so far! Who else has read this one? 🐾
pickA masterpiece. Iconic Stephen King novel. And one where he actually sticks the ending. #losersclub @BarkingMadRead
pickI don't read scripts so the setting up of it took some getting used to but then after that it reads smooth, the scenes flow right into each other in a seamless way with notes here and there of characters and settings and even some camera direction that it was easy to imagine or in my case relive as I've seen this one plenty of times.
I really loved being able to read this 🫶🏻
pickI read this with @BarkingMadRead and the #losersclub last month.
I would classify this as a thriller but I feel it was a stronger overarching political commentary on gun laws and possibly eminent domain. In the early 1970s Bert and his wife lose their house to fair market value and a highway.
Read if you like a slow descent into madness & bad choices.

🤡 Taken with the newest addition to my King collection - It duck from Five Below!
pickEveryone knows the name Cujo, but have all of us really gotten to know this poor canine? Stephen King has a way of telling stories unlike anyone else. Cujo isn‘t the only scary thing in this story; humans are far worse. Curiosity and a wanting for second breakfast literally lead Cujo straight down the rabbit hole, where bad things are. What happens next is horrifying but it‘s not his fault. Highlight to remember: please vaccinate your pets!💉
Shortly following those mortal events in the Camber dooryard, Cujo‘s remains were cremated. The ashes went out with the trash and were disposed of at the Augusta waste-treatment plant. It would perhaps not be amiss to point out that he had always tried to be a good dog. He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him. He would have died for them, if that had been required. ⬇️
