Cycle of the Werewolf ★☆☆☆☆

Cycle of the Werewolf (Signet) - Stephen King

When I shelved this on Goodreads, a couple of years ago, I rated it 3 stars based on a 30-year-old memory of it being vaguely disappointing. I have just now re-read it for the Set on Halloween square for 2016 Halloween Bingo.

 

As one of Uncle Steve’s Constant Readers, I feel this just doesn’t measure up:

1. It’s written in present tense

2. The illustrations are not appealing

3. The characters are not interesting

4. The horror is perfunctory

5. It’s written in present tense
