As the months go by, rumors spread that the killings are the work of a werewolf, but the town's residents aren't sure what to believe and seem powerless to stop him. The following month, the wolf's victim is a spinster, and her death is followed by that of a drifter, a young boy, a church custodian, a café owner, the town constable, a librarian, and various animals. In moments, a huge wolf breaks down the door and kills Arnie, thus setting off what will be a year-long cycle of terror and death. Railroad flagman Arnie Westrum is waiting out the storm in a small wooden shack when he hears an animal apparently trying to enter the building. The story opens on a cold night in January as a blizzard shuts down Tarker's Mills, Maine. The straightforward plot follows a year in the life of a small town in Maine as, on the night of each month's full moon, its residents are terrorized by a werewolf who turns out to be one of their own. Cycle of the Werewolf is one of Stephen King's shorter horror novels and the book is beautifully illustrated by noted comic book artist Berni Wrightson. ![]()
