“There is nothing of God or Light in that heartless sound - it is all black winter and dark ice.”

The plot of this one is pretty straightforward, it follows a year in the life of a small town in Maine called Tarker's Mills, on the night of each month's full moon, its residents are terrorized by a murderous werewolf.

I've put off buying this for years because it's very short and it's always been pretty expensive but my other half got it for me as a gift and I've just made this my 55th Stephen King read.

This one is fast-paced, there's not much plot wise, like I said it's straightforward but I did like it; the illustrations by Bernie Wrightson were very good at creating an atmosphere which was perfect for the subject matter.
