Fun, Quick Hit by the Master of Horror

If you're looking for a great way to kill a lunch break, pick up "Cycle of the Werewolf". A crisp scary tale about a small town's year dealing with a Beast in their midst. I don't know if you would categorize this tale as a novella or a long short story, either way, you'll breeze through the story in an hour.

As the tale opens, it's a cold, snowy evening in January, and as the citizens of Tarker's Mill are tucking themselves in, the Beast takes it's first victim. The tale plays out with each chapter centered around each month's full moon. The body count rises, and the people of Tarker's Mill begin to wonder if they have a monster or a madman walking among them, and it seems that only 10 year Marty Coslaw may know the answer.

As you can imagine, there is almost no character development here, and honestly as I read I kept waiting for Marty and Uncle Al to play a larger role in the story (I'm sure this is because of the "Silver Bullet" film adaptation), but even our main characters are little more than secondary characters here. I guess the only character that's fleshed out to any degree is the monster (no spoilers here, so I won't name them).

If you like King's short fiction, you'll like this story. If you are looking for something with a bit more depth, you may want to pick up something else. I would like to note the artwork included in the novel. While I enjoyed the drawings, I found that their placement in the story almost always provided spoilers about how and when the monster would attack. Maybe they could push each illustration back by one page?

Beware The Full Moon.

Cycle Of The Werewolf is a fantastic Novelette, and my personal favorite werewolf story to read. Keep in mind though, this is indeed a novelette, so don't expect it to be a long read.

If you've never read 'Cycle' but instead seen the film 'Silver Bullet', which is based on this novelette, you will find a lot of differences. One of the biggest ones to me, is the relationship between Marty and his sister.

The book is split up into months, acting as chapters, which gives it a nice variation in the weather, and over all mood of the characters. One of the most appealing aspects of this book, is the amazing artwork. Matter of fact, there's so many illustrations, that it kind of feels like a text heavy graphic novel.

The copy I received from Amazon arrived in perfect condition, and I would highly recommend this to anyone 18 and over.

Silver bullet's origin

As a Stephen King fan, I am hardly ever disappointed by his work. This graphic novel goes through each month of a year in the lives of the residents in the town. If you have seen silver bullet, take that out of your mind while reading this book. It was a good read, and it was quick. I needed to know what was going to happen next so I read it in one sitting. The illustrations are great and very detailed. I would recommed this book to any Stephen King fans.

Fast Furry Fantasy

This was a relatively short story and a very fast read.

Instead of chapters, the format consisted of the months of a single year and, in particular, the days on which the full moon occurred. Because, of course, this was when the hideous beast in the small town of Tarker Mills made his appearance to perform his murderous deeds. Each month briefly highlighted one resident of the small town who ended up being the werewolf's victim and, in typical Stephen King fashion, the deaths were vividly described in gory, gruesome detail. Because the chapters were so short, there wasn't a lot of character development, but I think Mr. King still managed to give us a good insight into each member of the town. After all, this is what he does best.

I really liked Marty Coslaw. He was a smart, level-headed, brave kid confined to a wheelchair and was perhaps the best developed character in the whole book.

The illustrations by Berni Wrightson were superb and added a lot of depth and enjoyment to the book.

I hunger...

Graphic novel by the king of authors. Not your normal Stephen King book, but I enjoyed it. Kind of like a Stephen King comic book, with each chapter representing a month and a new victim (or not). :)
