As undeniably talented an author as he is, the 78-year-old King will also be the first to admit he was battling serious addiction issues at the peak of his fame, a topic he discusses at detailed length in his gripping memoir, On Writing.
Released in 1981, King's Cujo tells the story of a lovable Saint Bernard who soon contracts rabies, turning him into a rampaging killer that traps a mother and young boy in their car.
"At the end of my adventures I was drinking a case of sixteen-ounce tallboys a night, and there's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all," King states in On Writing. "I don't say that with pride or shame, only with a vague sense of sorrow and loss."
Just before his family's heartfelt intervention to confront the writer over his addiction, King mentions the difficult mental place he was in in the midst of his substance abuse.
"At the worst of it I no longer wanted to drink and no longer wanted to be sober, either. I felt evicted from life," King admits. "At the start of the road back I just tried to believe the people who said that things would get better if I gave them time to do so."
