"Rattlesnakes" is told from the perspective of Vic Trenton – the husband of Donna Trenton and father of Tad Trenton from Cujo.

Those who have either read Cujo or seen director Lewis Teague's 1983 adaptation will remember that Vic Trenton was in advertising and dealing with a problem involving a cereal client in the novel/movie. It was because of this business crisis that he was out of town when his wife and son got trapped inside of a broken-down car and terrorized by a rabies-infected dog.
Learning that "Rattlesnakes" is told from Vic's perspective is significant given that it means that the story will surely deal with the trauma the character experiences at the end of Cujo. Stephen King has previously teased a horrifying sequence in the story that involves a pair of four-year-old twins who get trapped in a rattlesnake pit, and I'm willing to bet that the stroller is connected to them, and that the events end up being devastatingly triggering for Vic Trenton.
