Stephen King Has Written A Sequel To His Rabid Dog Classic ‘Cujo’!

Will Stephen King ever stop crafting terrifying tales? God, we hope not. During a recent chat with The Losers’ Club Podcast, the master of horror revealed that his new tale, Rattlesnakes, is actually a sequel to his classic rabid dog novel Cujo! “I just wrote a long story called Rattlesnakes. And it involves, at one part, twins who are only four years old… falling into a rattlesnake pit. And the snakes get them. It’s a terrible scene.” King continues, “This novella that I’ve just written, Rattlesnakes… is a sequel to Cujo.” While that’s all the details we know about the new tale, that’s enough for us to want to read it. While Cujo didn’t precisely set things up for a sequel, one thing the two stories do have in common is that young children are put in danger, which is every parent’s worst nightmare. For those who don’t know, Cujo centers on a beloved Saint Bernard who became infected with

Finn: New Stephen King Tale Coming Exclusively To Scribd
