Cycle of the Werewolf

[LongWalker]

This is a book or novella that is hard to find. I have it in paperback with art. This version is not a graphic novel. This is the only format that i have seen or heard of. I don't hear people talk about this book at all. Would be interested in what others know about this. Thanks!

[tillyn]

I too have it in the same format. I have to reread and get back to you on my thoughts:smile2:

[Ubasti]

I have it in that same foremat too. I've seen it in other formats online at way too high of a price to even consider purchasing it.

I haven't read it in a long time, but I did enjoy it. It's a great book.

[LadyPain]

I have it in the same format... a novel with art. I read it last year. I purchased my copy through Abebooks.com and it was the easiest Stephen King read I'd ever had. I enjoyed it. I remembered part of the way through the book that I had read it not long after it first came out. Funny how things crawl back into the light.

I love that little book.

[Jax]

I have it in this format also. It's been about 5 years at least since I read it, but I did enjoy it. I don't remember a lot about it, but I remember it being a thin book, and a really easy read.

[LongWalker]

Thanks all! I was friends with a used book store owner and he said in all his years in books, he had only seen two copies. One of them was mine. The cool thing is I got my copy for about 3 bucks! Please give me more info on this!

[blunthead]

I liked Cycle, too, and partly due to it's length, partly due to it's classic subject, but mostly due to how well it was written.

I have the inexpensive, paperback with art version, which I probably came across at Half.com.

[LongWalker]

Was this story released in another version?

[michal]

I have a hard cover with the graphics and like it a lot. My brother got it for me a few years back, I think he was visiting South Africa of all places. The drawings really added to the story and I liked it a lot - it was like a children book, only the story it told was way darker than the standard "And They Lived Happily Ever After" style.

[constantreader85]

i have never read it, another book to purchase on amazon:biggrin2:

[SixPins]

I have it in this version: http://www.amazon.com/Cycle-Werewolf-Signet-Stephen-King/dp/0451822196/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250748762&sr=8-1

The pages are all glossy and the illustrations are cool. A bit pricey (I bought it a long time ago, cover price) but pretty well worth it. I would have liked to see King release this as a full on novel.

Was this story released in another version?
The only other version I'm aware of was an edition that included King's screenplay for Silver Bullet. It's very rare and probably the edition that's going for so much on E-Bay and Amazon. As far as I know the book itself (sans screenplay) is still in print. I saw if a few months back at my local Barnes and Noble.

If you follow that link, you can get a used copy (like I did) for not too much. I got one for $4.00 plus $3.99 shipping. Not too shabby, huh?

It was such a short book, good story, though. I love the artwork. It would make a good movie.

It was adapted with the title Silver Bullet (http://www.stephenking.com/library/movie/silver_bullet.html).

[Donald W. DeClicko]

The only time I read this was when I borrowed it from a local library in the late 90's. I don't recall ever seeing it since then.

[rev. rick]

I also have this book and i have seen it online in hard back for sale. When I looked into it turns out that it was never actually published in hard back. What I saw online was a rebound copy. If you look around you can find ways to get yours rebound free if you wish. The high school i graduated from years ago gets a large number done for free every year and offered to bind mine to. I declined because I wanted it origanal but there are ways.

[iuris]

isn't this the book which got film as silver bullet or am I wrong, :s

[Moderator]

You are correct--it is Silver Bullet (http://www.stephenking.com/library/movie/silver_bullet.html) for the film title.

[sbtaylor76]

I have been looking for a copy of Cycle of the Werewolf for years! I want a trade paperback or a hard cover. It's a great story, and Silver Bullet, which is based on this story, happens to be one of my favorite movies!!! Do you know where I can find a copy of this book in the sizes that I am looking for?

[Mobe1969]

Silver Bullet was one of my teen/childhood favourite films. I'd nearly forgotten about it. I just ordered a copy of it, and got a copy of the combined screenplay/Cycle of the Werewolf novella (second hand so not pristine)

[sbtaylor76]

I just bought a brand new copy of Cycle of the Werewolf. It's a trade size paperback with glossy pages and cool illustrations. I was very surprised to find this title still available brand new!!!!!

[Matthew.Degnan]

I just finished reading this...

It was ok. Not the best SK though. I thought that the chapters didn't really interlink very well and the whole story was way too short. Should have been at least another 150 pages. One thing I did like though, that we didn't really see enough of was the town of Tarker's Mills. I'd like to see more of this place.

[upinurface]

I have the book and that was the best two hours spent still can't belive who the werewolf was and the movie silver bullet was a poor conparision to the book

[Billiards Girl]

I have the trade paperback Silver Bullet version of this book with the original novel, the original screenplay, photos from the movie and I believe it also has additional illustrations, although I'm not sure about that. I got it at the flea market for a dollar.

[GNTLGNT]

It's easy to snatch up like a frightened bunny to slavering jowls(nice huh?)...flea markets, Ebay, Amazon etc.-and it's worth the read, believe me...

[ilovehearses]

"Cycle of the Werewolf" was the first Stephen King book I ever read. It was when I was either in 4th or 5th grade. I'm going to be 34 next month, so that tells you how long it's been. I've been a Stephen King fan ever since. :grinning:

[Drumbum]

One of few stories that's missing from my collection. It's one of my favs and I've read it several times. I've been a member of the Stephen King library for years and inquired about it only to be told it's out of print. :eyebrow: Confirmation?

[muskrat]

I recently picked up a damn near mint condition copy of the illustrated trade p.b. for 75 cents at goodwill! Top that!

[beneath the dome]

movie Silverbullet is based on this book, I have searched and caint find copy anywhere. would love to be able to find copy for my self I have it all including Richard bachman this is the only thing to complete my library of works as yet printed

[Moderator]

It's available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Cycle-Werewolf-Signet-Stephen-King/dp/0451822196/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319737109&sr=1-1), Barnes & Noble (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/cycle-of-the-werewolf?keyword=cycle+of+the+werewolf&store=book), Books A Million (http://www.booksamillion.com/search?id=5153264181971&query=Cycle+of+the+Werewolf&where=Books&search.x=66&search.y=12), to name just a few and perhaps your local bookseller would be willing to order a copy for you. Many stores will do that if they don't have a particular book in stock. Good luck!

[King fan from trinidad]

If this was on one of the short story collections that one would have been the best! I borrowed my friends copy and gobbled it up in an hour. Def worth it just for the amount of times you will reread it!

[king family fan]

I have a couple copies of this format. But i have seen it several times at our local used bookstore.
