What this book is about
King's 1983 illustrated novel follows a year of werewolf attacks, one per month, in a small Maine town. The illustrations by Berni Wrightson are vivid. Violence is significant — werewolf attacks with deaths — but the horror is monster-movie level rather than deeply psychological. Appropriate for older teens and adults who enjoy horror.
