Wrightson, Berni (Illustrations) (illustrator). Originally conceived as a story-calendar, "Cycle of the Werewolf" grew to be a beautifully illustrated novella in 12 segments about Marty Coslaw, a young boy who must convince the townspeople of Tarker's Mills that there is a werewolf in their midst. No one knows who will be attacked next, but snarls that sound like human words can be heard and all around are the footprints of a monster whose hunger cannot be sated. When the full moon shines, a paralyzing fear descends on the isolated Maine town of Tarker Mills. Terror began in January - by the light of the full moon. Heavy stock coated pages very good no writing.
