When the full moon shines, a paralysing fear descends on the isolated Maine town of Tarker Mills. No one knows who will be attacked next, but snarls that sound like human words can be heard and all around are the footprints of a monster whose hunger cannot be sated.

Review
'The true narrative artist is a rare creature. Storytelling - the ability to make the listener or the reader need to know, demand to know, what happens next - is a gift...Stephen King, like Charles Dickens before him, has this gift in spades.' -- The Times on CELL 'Thrilling, genuinely terrifying, beautifully textured and full of wonderful invention' -- Daily Mail on LISEY'S STORY 'He has become a fascinating paradoxical figure, still seen as ultra-commercial but, in fact, increasingly highbrow and self-conscious' -- Sunday Times on DUMA KEY 20080120 Praise for Stephen King -- : 20080120

Format:Paperback
I had not heard of this short novel before seeing it on the shelf one day. I at first thought it must be by one of those authors with the same name as famous author Stephen King but no it is actually by the same man who wrote Carrie, Christine, It and other classics. This is also the first Stephen King book I have found which also has pictures. It is sort of like a children's book written by Stephen King although it is still a horror story. It is basically just a short story released on its own instead of as a collection together with other stories. Cycle of the Werewolf is not his greatest short story ever written. That title would have to go to The Mist, Autopsy Room Four, Riding the Bullet or Trucks but this story is better than a lot of his other sort stories and the illustrations are brilliant. This would be an excellent novel for either kids who are moving up from junior fiction or for your self to read as an adult.

By J. M. Hannam
Format:Paperback
King does a superb job at composing a scary yet fun short story about a werewolf who attacks once a month when the moon is full. King isn't trying to allude to anything and isn't tryiny to make any deep comments about society he is simply, with this story, writing to entertain, and he does it with vigor. The story is easily read and enjoyable all the way through, check it out! By the way the illustrations are excellent and bring the story to life before your very eyes!

Format:Paperback
this is the story about a werewolf haunting someplace. it's one episode for each month. some of the descriptions are quite good. but how many werewolf episodes do we need? to be SK this is amazingly little plot-oriented. it is obviously written just for fun (or money). the way it is done, makes you lose interest. no reason to bother with psychology, not much of a plot to grab your attention, etc.

King's novella is okay but Wrightston's art is a lot better
Actually the chief attraction of "Cycle of the Werewolf" for me is the artwork by Berni Wrightston more than the story by Stephen King. Read more

Perfect King Primer
This novel, or novella is an excellent introduction to Stephen King. It stays pretty true to Silver Bullet the movie based on it, or it was based on I forget which came first in... Read more

Not the best Stephen King book
This wasn't the best Stephen King book. It was a good book, but I thought it should be a short story or something. It was very gory too. The pictures show it. Read more

Not the Best, But...
Although this is one of King's less ingenious novels, it is still entertaining. This novel is proof of King's love for old horror stories, especially the grotesque horror comics... Read more

Part 2
Sorry, forgot to mention Misery and his short story collection Everything's Eventual. Cycle is also just as good as those ones too.

A calender that became a book that became a movie...
The story behind Stephen King's short 'novel' Cycle of the Werewolf is actually far more interesting than the book itself. Read more

Exciting and Suspenseful
This is an o.k. book. It's not as long as Steven King's usual books, but it's exciting and suspenseful. You won't be able to put it down. Read more

Boring!
I'm a big fan of Steven King novels, but this is not at all up to his usual standards. Its too short and its really boring. I wasted my money on it, so don't waste yours.
