A short werewolf story that's fun to curl up with. If you're a Stephen King fan and you haven't read this, definitely check it out. This book inspired the 1985 movie - Silver Bullet. 

The illustrations by Bernie Wrightson are absolutely the highlight of the book - but I disliked how they always came up early in the chapter, spoiler alert every time.
