CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF

by Stephen King

And its snarls sounded terribly like human words.
The wind shoops and howls. The screams begin.

The moon kills, you know. It feeds off the earth. And when it shines down, fat and full, on Tarkers Mills, something in the night howls, the inhuman notes drifting on the wind, lonely, savage, lycanthropic. And with each full moon during the cycle of the werewolf, something, or someone, has to die.

Dedication:
In memory of Davis Grubb, and all the voices of Glory.
Firstline:
Somewhere, high above, the moon shines down, fat and full—but here, in Tarker's Mills, a January blizzard has choked the sky with snow.

Cast of Characters:
