Book Review of Cycle of the Werewolf

Cycle of the Werewolf
Cycle of the Werewolf
Author: Stephen King
Genre: Horror
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


This is a short Novella with gorgeous illustrations. The only fault I have with this story is that it is too brisk, there is no real character development most of the characters are introduced at the beginning of a chapter and die by the end of the chapter a quick four pages later. I love King and enjoy his short stories above his novels but this lacks his usual punch because there is no connection to any character. I had been spoiled on the mystery of the werewolf because I have seen the film adaptation Silver Bullet several times and had looked forward to reading how it played out on page but the back and forth between Marty and the werewolf was simply not on the page. To be honest while I enjoyed the book I surprisingly prefer the movie.
