This was the first thing of Stephen King's that I ever read I was 13 or 14 years old and this will be the first book of his I've ever read a second time

I've always credited Cycle as THE ground zero of me getting into drawing. Berni Wrightson was the fuck'n man.

It's a novella only about 90 pages I think and half are illustrations. Very cool illustrations though.

Awkwardly, but not in a bad way. The novella was originally just short stories based around each full moon of the month for a calendar, with Bernie's illustrations. When King got to July, a plot finally started to develop (Marty is finally introduced), and we start having reoccurring characters :P

Kind probably adapted the novella the best way he could into a screenplay though, and changing the eye situation from firecrackers to the bottle rocket is a genius move.

Finished Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's a novella only 90 pages. I liked the story, its a bit tamer than the story I know from films but still entertaining. B+
