Cycle Of The Werewolf

[slym2none]

This was a short book by Stephen King with illustrations by Bernie Wrightson. Anyone ever hear of it? I picked it up at the library today and will read it soon. The art looks really neat.

 

My favourite piece of art so far, on a scan through the book - this is a large image, so I will link it instead:

They made it into a movie called Silver Bullet, starring Corey Haim and Gary Busey.

Really? Dang, I never knew that... have you seen it? If so, did you like/dislike?

 

I will check out the librarie's DVD/film section for that when I take it back.

I liked the book quite a bit and the movie is pretty good too. If you have a chance, you should watch it.

It was first released as a very limited hardcover around 1985. The novella was only available via comic distributors and sold out almost immediately. The book came sealed in plastic so you had to choose between opening it to read or saving it for future sales.

 

Hardcover was released in 1983, not 1985.

There was a S/N version that sells for around a grand and an unsigned edition of around 25,000 that sells for around $200. I remember ordering ten because I thought I'd only get part of what I ordered.

I think i got six, and still have one sealed one in my keepers.

I loved reading this one as a kid largely bc of the illustrations. Great stuff.

Yeah I really enjoyed both of them also. Was cool looking at them again. GREAT art! Glad I saw the name of the thread....had not looked at either in over 10 years.

The movie is pretty awful...the scariest part is Gary Busey.

The movie was a horror film with training wheels. It was for kids before they were ready for real horror films, it wasn't that bad for the 80's.

 

Plus, I remember this being one sweet ride when I was growing up!

Great book, edited the way King needs to be rather than being overly long winded. It's worth picking up IMO just for the Wrightson illustrations.

Agreed. The movie was almost an unintentional comedy.
