Description
A mysterious stranger appears in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine, offering a young girl a small, intricately carved box with coloured buttons. The buttons can produce gifts, but the stranger warns that the gifts will be 'small recompense for the responsibility.' This chilling novella by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar is a story that has never been told, set against the eerie backdrop of Castle Rock.
Set in the summer of 1974, the story follows Gwendy Peterson as she catches her breath on a bench, listening to the sounds of the playground and the crack of a baseball bat. The stranger's offer changes everything, and Gwendy must navigate the consequences of her decision.
Journey back to Castle Rock with this new novella, which explores the darker side of small-town life and the supernatural forces that lurk in the shadows.
