Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock and roll, Maine

Stephen King groups up with long-time friend and award-winning author Richard Chizmar for the very first time within this original, chilling novella that revisits the mysterious town of Castle Rock and roll.

There are 3 ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summertime of 1974, twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson provides taken the stairways, which are kept by strong-if time-rusted-iron bolts about Gwendy’s Button Package: Includes reward tale ‘The Music Room’ and zig-zag up the precarious cliffside.

Then one day when Gwendy reaches the top of Castle Watch, after catching her breath and hearing the shouts of kids on the playground below, a stranger calls to her. There on the bench in the color sits a guy in black skinny jeans, a black coat, and a white t shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small, neat black hat. The time should come when Gwendy provides nightmares about that hat…

The tiny town of Castle Rock, Maine has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over time, but there is certainly one story that has by no means been told-until now.
