Cycle of the Werewolf

Stephen King

This is such an enjoyable read and I loved the presentation of it.

The 'cycle' is presented in short month chapters with awesome artwork from Berni Wrightson (Bernie Wrightson).
Although it's a short book, I read it slowly as I took in the artwork. It has a mix of Black&white chapter pages and full-colour stunning illustrations for pivotal moments in the story.

The writing was easy to read and very typical King, which I love, with small-town vibes.
I would have liked there to be more development regarding werewolf mythology but instead, it was quite a straightforward tale. This didn't reduce my enjoyment, a longer version of the book would probably have that.
