I just purchased a copy of Stephen King's book, _Cycle_of_the_Werewolf_.
This is a new edition of a book that appeared only in hardcover and it is
beautiful!  Berni Wrightson did the illustrations in both color and b&w.
Truly one of the best illustrated books I have seen in years.

If you read _National_Lampoon_ then you may have seen some of Berni's
work.  He did a parody of the TV show _Bewitched_ in witch Sam and Endora
were real witches, complete with human sacrifices and sex magic with demons.
My favorite part had to be when they burn Mrs. Cravitts' eyes out though.
Silly stuff, I highly recommend it.  It was in comic format and funny.

Berni has also done a lot of SF artwork, although his leanings are toward
the horror realm.  I have a portfolio of his interpretation of Edgar Allan
Poe's works that is quite stunning, especially _The_Cask_of_Howeveryouspellit_.

So, in summary, this book is a must see!
