Cycle of the Werewolf
If you do not read Stephen King´s works but you have decided to begin doing it, and if you start from Cycle of the Werewolf, you would be confused. You will not understand why King is so popular and there are so many fans of his novels. But Cycle of the Werewolf is not as bad as you would think.
In fact it includes the worlds of pulp, art and literature. This novel begins with a calendar. Yes, with a calendar. It should be filled with one illustration by Berni Wrightson, a comic book artist, and a short content by King.
As any writer the author could not limit himself to 500 words and as a result now we have the book Cycle of the Werewolf. The difference of these short stories is that events take place at the same location in comparison with, for example, Skeleton Crew and Night Shift.
Cycle of the Werewolf is added by the talent of the comic artist and that is why the story may be considered as forgettable. The story takes place in non-existent city Tarker´s Mills, Maine. But this state should be obliged to King because with the help of his novels it has become the most visited place of literary based tourism.
According to the classic horror film about werewolf a maniacal beast attacks the city and no one is able to stop it. This is a standard script but it is interesting and funny, and sometimes confused. The chapters are short and they do not like the real chapter of the book, and that is why the reader may feel lack of information.
The fans of King´s works will enjoy Cycle of the Werewolf, and it will be amused and interesting to read it.
