If you want a very good but quick scare, pick this one up to read under the covers one night. If it wasn’t for her, I would have started The Talisman before Cycle of the Werewolf and it would have ruined the whole thing! I would have had to start over! (Well, maybe not, but it makes the save sound so much more dramatic!) I have been working my way through King’s works chronologically and I have to get a shout out to Dichotomy Girl for getting my mind right in the comments on her review of The Gunslinger so that I did not forget this one! I put The Talisman on hold about a month ago and just got in my mind that is what I would read next after Pet Sematary.
So, proceed with caution if you want to learn the story from the words and not the pictures! Since they are large and colorful it is hard for your eye not to be drawn to them. These pictures are very cool and add a lot to the story, however, they are sometimes a spoiler and depict a scene coming up in the next few pages.
This observation is not a complaint, I just want to make sure anyone reading this based on my review know exactly what they will be seeing.Īlso, every chapter includes artwork by Bernie Wrightson. It’s a short story I paced myself but could probably have read this whole thing in under an hour. But this really isn’t even long enough to be considered a novella. Cycle of the Werewolf is touted as a novel in many places.
