Decription: The little town of Castle Rock, Maine has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told... until now.

There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974 twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside.

At the top of the stairs, Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground. From a bit farther away comes the chink of an aluminum bat hitting a baseball as the Senior League kids practice for the Labor Day charity game.

One day, a stranger calls to Gwendy: "Hey, girl. Come on over here for a bit. We ought to palaver, you and me."

On a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat like for a suit, and a white shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat...

Journey back to Castle Rock again in this chilling new novella by Stephen King, bestselling author of The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, and Richard Chizmar, award-winning author of A Long December. This book will be a Cemetery Dance Publications exclusive with no other editions currently planned anywhere in the world!


Hello again!

I am reviewing Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar. It was a novella and a quick read. Any quotes that may appear below are from the text and are not my words.

Imagine being in possession of something that can make dreams come true. It can give you everything that you want but at a great cost. Would you still want to own it? How would it affect the future and the people around you? All your wildest fantasies could be yours. Could you ever trust a person that would offer you such a thing? These questions and more ran through my mind as I read this book. When something seems to be too good to be true, it usually is.

I read this book in one setting. I could not put it down. I am rating it Four Red Books because some of the events in it were predictable. Overall, it is a great read and I would definitely recommend it.
