Worth Reading: If you're a SK fan then yes it certainly is. For everyone else, I think it might be an acquired taste. This is a re-read for me. Indeed, I've read it countless times.

Summary: Tarker's Mills is a quiet town in Maine. Quiet, that is, until one winter on a full moon, a railway-man in the middle of nowhere has his throat ripped out.

Each full moon, as the attacks continue, the residents of Tarker's Mills become more terrified. The police have no clues as to what is killing the good people of the town.

Marty Coslaw, rider of the silver-bullet, has seen it. Marty has survived an attack - just.

And now, Marty knows who it is.

This is a very small novella from SK. If you're familiar with his longer works you'll understand. The story roughly follows the lunar cycle and is illustrated nicely. It may take you about 40 minutes to read and is worth the time.
