Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine
Stephen King teams up with long-time friend and award-winning author Richard Chizmar for the first time in this original, chilling novella that revisits the mysterious town of Castle Rock.
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 precarious cliffside.
Then one day when Gwendy gets to the top of Castle View, after catching her breath and hearing the shouts of kids on the playground below, a stranger calls to her. There on a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black 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…
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.

What would we do with a box like this, could we restrain ourselves from not pushing the buttons? A question I was asking myself while reading this first part about Gwendy Peterson and her life.
When Gwendy receives this peculiar box from a stranger, she doesn’t know what to make of it. Most of all she wonders what would happen if she pushed one of the buttons.
The power of these buttons seems unmeasurable, but they appear to have an effect on Gwendy’s life if good or bad that remains to be seen.
Though short, Stephen King and Richard Chizmar have created an easy-to-follow story.
I usually am not a short story fan, I like the author’s longer stories more. But as this is a three-part series, I was curious and gave it a try, but it didn’t knock my socks off. Maybe the whole story would have been better if not written as a short story and not divided into three parts.
It seems that I am still not a fan of short stories.
Others, who like short stories might enjoy this first part Stephen King Fans alike.
