Summary: King for Kids
Comment: 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.

Summary: An excellent short story...
Comment: 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!

Summary: Perfect King Primer
Comment: 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 this case. The book is quite short, so those that criticize King of having a propensity of being a ilttle verboise at times have no ammo in this case. Yet every word is vintage King, his language and style shines through clearly in this tale abaout a werewolve terrorizing the typical small town. I recommend this book as an introduction to King because its short and I find it has everything that has become his trademark over his literary career, just in little less quantity than some of his other works. Cycle Of The Werewolf I would say is the appetizer to whet the readers' appetite for Mr. King's literary smorgasboard of fiction. As an added bonus there are beautiful black and white and colour illustrations throughout story by Berni Wrightson.
