In the summer of 1988, the mutilated bodies of several missing girls begin to turn up in a small Maryland town. The grisly evidence leads police to the terrifying assumption that a serial killer is on the loose in the quiet suburb. But soon a rumour begins to spread that the evil stalking local teens is not entirely human. For a once peaceful community trapped in the depths of paranoia and suspicion, it feels like a nightmare that will never end. Co-author of "Gwendy's Button Box." Print run 50,000.

Chasing the Boogeyman

Stephen King

Gwendy's Final Task

Something evil has swept into the small western Maine town of Castle Rock on the heels of the latest winter storm. Sheriff Norris Ridgewick and his team are desperately searching for two missing girls, but time is running out to bring them home alive. In Washington D.C., thirty-seven-year-old Gwendy Peterson couldn't be more different from the self-conscious teenaged girl who once spent a summer running up Castle Rock's Suicide Stairs. That same summer, she was entrustedƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"or some might say cursedƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"with the extraordinary button box by Richard Farris, the mysterious stranger in the black suit. The seductive and powerful box offered Gwendy small gifts in exchange for its care and feeding until Farris eventually returned, promising Gwendy she'd never see the box again. One day, though, the button box shows up without warningƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"and without Richard Farris to explain why, or what she's supposed to do with it. The mysterious reappearance of the box, along with the troubling disappearances in Castle Rock, leads Gwendy home again...where she just might be able to help rescue the missing girls and stop a madman before he does something ghastly. From New York Times bestseller Richard Chizmar comes Gwendy's Magic Feather, a breathtaking novel that asks whether our lives are controlled by fate or the choices we makeƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"and what price we might have to pay for those choices when we reach for the things we most desire. Prepare to return again to Stephen King's Castle Rock, the sleepy little town built on a bedrock of deep, dark secrets, which is about to awaken from its quiet slumber once more.

Gwendy's Magic Feather

'A resonant novella set in one of King's signature locales: the small town of Castle Rock, Maine' Washington Post The small 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 suit coat, 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 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.

Revelations

When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven coloured buttons promised death and destruction. Years later, the button box re-entered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once more forced to deal with the temptations that the box represented - an amazing sense of wellbeing, balanced by a terrifyingly dark urge towards disaster. With the passing of time, the box has grown ever stronger and evil forces are striving to possess it. Once again, it is up to Gwendy Peterson, now a United States Senator battling the early symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities? Gwendy's Final Task is a wildly suspenseful and at the same time deeply moving novel in which 'horror giants' (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

Vuelve Stephen King con una impactante novela corta en un formato muy especial. La pequeña ciudad de Castle Rock, en Maine, ha sido testigo de algunos extraños sucesos, pero solo hay una historia que no se ha contado... hasta ahora. Existen tres vías para llegar a Castle View desde la ciudad de Castle Rock: por la carretera 117, por Pleasant Road y por las Escaleras de los Suicidios. Cada día del verano de 1974, Gwendy Peterson, de doce años de edad, toma el camino de las escaleras, que ascienden en zigzag por la ladera rocosa. Pero un día, al llegar a lo alto, mientras recupera el aliento con la cara roja y las manos apoyadas sobre las rodillas, un desconocido la llama. Allí, en un banco a la sombra, se sienta un hombre con una chaqueta negra y un pequeño sombrero. Llegará un día en el que Gwendy sufra pesadillas con ese sombrero... La crítica ha dicho... «Esta novela sobre el fin de la infancia mezcla un tono dulce con otro más amenazante... La historia brilla especialmente cuando se hace preguntas universales: ¿Cuánto de lo que pasa en nuestras vidas es fruto de nuestras acciones y no el resultado de fuerzas impredecibles? ¿Y cuánto poder tenemos cualquiera de nosotros para salvar el mundo... o destruirlo? Los lectores devorarán esta estimulante historia.» Booklist «Una joya de pequeño tamaño pero llena de fuerza.» Publishers Weekly «Una fábula para un mundo que se vuelve más loco cada día.» Washington Post «Una lectura muy entretenida que nunca pierde su impulso inicial.» USA Today

The Girl on the Porch

Na emocionante sequência de A pequena caixa de Gwendy, best-seller do New York Times escrito por Stephen King e Richard Chizmar, Gwendy é convocada de volta a Castle Rock após o misterioso reaparecimento da caixa de botões. A pacata cidadezinha que esconde segredos obscuros e macabros está prestes a despertar outra vez. Algo maligno invadiu a pequena cidade de Castle Rock, no Maine, durante a última tempestade de inverno. Agora, o xerife Norris Ridgewick e sua equipe estão em uma busca incansável por duas garotas desaparecidas. Aos trinta e sete anos e morando em Washington, dc, Gwendy Peterson não se assemelha nem um pouco à adolescente insegura que costumava ser quando passou o verão se exercitando na Escadaria Suicida de Castle Rock. Naquele verão, ela foi incumbida — há quem diga amaldiçoada — de cuidar de uma caixa de botões bastante peculiar, entregue a ela por um desconhecido de terno preto. Gwendy nunca falou para ninguém sobre a caixa — nem mesmo para o marido —, até que, um dia, ela ressurge. Motivada pela inusitada reaparição do objeto e pelos desaparecimentos preocupantes em sua cidade natal, Gwendy retorna a Castle Rock, onde tentará resgatar as garotas desaparecidas antes que algo horrível aconteça com elas. Com uma prosa lírica de tirar o fôlego, o livro nos leva a pensar: nossas vidas são controladas pelo destino ou pelas escolhas que fazemos? "Eu adoro essa história! É frenética, assustadora e tristemente relevante. Amei os personagens e essa ideia da conexão de uma garota com o mundo todo por meio de um objeto peculiar. É pura música." — J.J. Abrams "Completamente envolvente... É uma história arrebatadora." — Publishers Weekly
