The book is divided into 12 chapters, with each chapter covering the grisly events of a different month. Interestingly, Stephen King and Bernie Wrightson's original vision of this project was a werewolf-themed calendar featuring a vignette by King and illustration by Wrightson for each month, but the project expanded into a novella.
