"Cycle of the Werewolf" Stephen King

cycle Werewolf, Stephen King, DeBols! Ment, 2010

There novels that over time they become mythical. They are not, do not read, they appear in lists, but have for years sold out and disappeared. Eagerly anticipates and when someone finally reissued or find them in the second hand stops, the wait is worth it and the novel becomes essential. Other novels not know, you do not hear even thought contral the work of the author and one day appear by surprise. When you read this thought comes to mind of how you might have lived without having read it before.

Cycle of the Werewolf not belong to either of these two categories. If one of the unknown, and no novels of Stephen King, it is by merit. Although Stephen King will defend one of the best American storytellers of the century and early twentieth century, when the shit, the shit thoroughly. To show the film he directed and end Shop

Twelve months. Twelve full moons. Twelve attacks a werewolf. And little else.

One of the great virtues of the work of Stephen King is his ability to maintain and provide new blood ancient myths of the novel of terror forever. I think the vampires of Salem's Lot , in the myth of the haunted house as well played in The Shining or Bag of Bones, or the mythical and essential reecración story William Wymark Jacobs monkey's hand in the wonderful climate and animals Cemetery, the game refers to dogs of Tantalus in the sympathetic Polaroid's dog . Naturally, each of these findings has a dark counterpart. King is one of the best, but also one of the most irregular.

And where do we put this Cycle of the Werewolf? Peorcito For what I've read from King. The origin of this short novel is a curious request. Someone decided to make a calendar on the figure of King Lycan and commissioned to compose a short texts accompany the artwork. Naturally, King spent Stpehen text length, the project was abandoned and the stories of the calendar is published in book form. So we met with twelve minihistory conductorio a tenuous thread to tell us the attacks of a werewolf in a small town.

Problem. No story, no characters, no stress, no terror, no literature. Only sketches of possible chapters extremely stereotypical characters in the line of King (the repressed, the abuser, alcoholic, etc.) And zero psychology. How big is King is the care with which traces the psychology of his characters, their contradictions and fine eye to remove the defects and the flashes of evil and madness within us. There's nothing here that. Someone might say that the brevity of the chapters does not allow the development of psychology or characters to which one might reply Monterroso recommended reading. In werewolf cycle nothing remarkable except for some image or some blunt words. The rest is bad. And worse, the rest remain indifferent. The best part? Some of the illustrations that accompany the novel. They are the best of Bernie Wrightson, but always watch your line is fine.

That itself can be a bad novel, but is not a boring novel. And that also need to know to recognize it.
