This film scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a teenager.

Now I like this song, it is about the end of the world and society. The government is called the werewolf here. How appropriate for today. #HauntsandHexes @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Werewolf
The Werewolf by Paul Simon
I just recently decided that I really want to own and read all of Stephen King's books (and books of short stories)! I just recently purchased this one - it's a much older book of his from early in his career - and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm actually really enjoying it so far! Who else has read this one? 🐾

Today‘s haiku was inspired by seeing the almost full moon as I was driving to the airport at 4:30 AM. There were clouds but the July Buck Moon shown through. (This is not my photo—freeway driving isn‘t great for picture taking.)
July moon rises
Pearl glowing in pre-dawn sky
Warm light beckons me

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickPatricia Briggs has a really compelling way of telling a story that I really appreciate — and this was no exception. An extension of the Mercy Thompson universe, this story hits the ground running and never really slows down. Werewolf politics, ancient history, dark witches, mysterious murders — it‘s all a rollercoaster that comes to a relatively satisfying conclusion. Will definitely read more in this series.
pickThis brief werewolf tale was a total treat. The conceit of each chapter being one month of the year was clever. I loved the illustrations, and was genuinely shocked at the werewolf identity reveal. I do have to take away a star, though. I‘m sad to report that I‘ve realized that 1980s SK suffered from a terrible case of fatphobia. I do not see this in his later novels, but it‘s so obvious in these earlier ones. (And I‘m reading Thinner next. 🤦♀️)
pickI remember watching the film when I was younger and Werewolf films were all the rage. It was so long ago, but I seem to remember it was more ecological and thoughtful than this book which is straight up pulpy horror. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
pickI've been (re)listening to Patricia Brigg's Alpha & Omega series, narrated by Holter Graham. So far: Cry Wolf, Hunting Ground, Dead Heat, and Fair Game.
I think Dead Heat is my fav of the series, with Fair Game a close second. The background story arcs of politics and the supernatural are fascinating.
