Lester Lowe is a fictional character in the Stephen King universe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=alchetron.com )〕 He appears in the novella ''Cycle of the Werewolf'' and the film ''Silver Bullet''. The story and plight of Lowe is inspired by the ancient folklore tale of the ''Werewolf Priest'', although Lowe himself is actually a Baptist reverend. ==Role in the novella== Lowe first appears in the novella in April preaching a sermon about Spring and God's love. In May, Lowe has a dream that he is preaching on Homecoming Sunday, the next day, and that he is giving the sermon of his life. Then, his congregation begins to transform into werewolves. As Lowe continues to preach, his words turn to snarls, and he also transforms. After he awakes, he goes to his window half-suspecting to see the werewolf. He then says a prayer, asking for forgiveness for his superstitious lapse and goes back to sleep. The next day, he finds Clyde Corliss, a janitor, gutted on the pulpit. In October, on Halloween, Marty Coslaw goes trick-or-treating looking for someone missing a left eye. He finds Lowe, although he does not know he has been discovered. In November, Lowe realizes that he is the werewolf. After his dream in May, Lowe began realizing that he had missing clothing and bruises he could not account for. In June, he awoke with blood on his hands and lips. In July, he awoke missing his left eye, although there was no pain. Lowe begins rationalizing his curse by telling himself that all things serve the will of God, and begins to go insane. In November, Marty began sending Lowe unsigned letters telling him to kill himself. Lowe decides to begin listening to gossip to discover who he attacked in July, as he has no memory of his actions in the Beast state. Meanwhile, Elmer Zinneman began leading a group of vigilantes into the woods to kill the werewolf. Lowe begins to feel the change coming, as his words turn to grunts, he begins to hunch when he walks, his brown eyes turn green, he grows a full beard, and his chest expands. To avoid the hunters, he travels to Portland, Maine where he purchases a hotel room. Milt Sturmfuller purchases the adjacent room, where he cheats on his wife Donna Lee. When Sturmfuller exits the room, he is decapitated by the werewolf. In December, Marty signs the last two letters he sends to Lowe. On New Year's Eve, the werewolf attacks Marty in his home. Unbeknownst to Lowe, however, Marty convinced his maternal uncle Al to melt down his confirmation spoon into two silver bullets. Marty shoots the werewolf twice, blinding and killing him. He transforms back into a deceased Reverend Lowe in front of Al, Marty, and Herman Coslaw. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lester Lowe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
