2.0
A dark novella told in a unique cyclical format that was easy to read (when it wasn't being fatphobic, ableist, racist, or discriminating against non-catholic religions).
Aside from the degrading and outdated narration, the werewolf's identity was extremely obvious from the beginning while the illustrations appeared far too early in the story. Altogether, this wasn't a great first impression to King's storytelling.
