Eine Werwolfgeschichte im klassischen Stil ohne große Überraschungen. Die Geschichte an sich ist allerdings durchaus nett erzählt. Dazu die wundervollen Zeichnungen von Berni Wrightson – und das Drehbuch zum Film, bei dem der Leser ein für alle Mal bestätigt bekommt, dass King diese furchtbaren Filmdialoge wirklich selbst schreibt.
The worst S. King novel imo
An enjoyable and nicely-illustrated novella that didn't overstay its welcome.
Standard '80s King, with the trademark monster this time being a werewolf, as opposed to clown, or vampire. Well-written, if a tad repetitive when you know his other fiction; again, a small town shredded, and, again, a kid in the center. - Still, even so, an entertaining story, especially if you look for modern renditions of the motif.
