Needful Things: The Last Castle Rock Story
Leland Gaunt probes the limits of people's desires when he moves to Castle Rock, Maine and opens a tiny curio shop called 'Needful Things,' which is full of interesting items running the gamut from absolutely worthless to completely priceless, where he sets a high price on love, hope, and the human soul . . .
Master storyteller Stephen King brings forth Needful Things, about a mysterious store than can sell its customers whatever they desire, but not without exacting a terrible price in return.
"Needful Things ranks among King's best, in both plot and characterization. As the dreams of each strikingly memorable character, major and minor, inexorably turn to nightmare, individuals and soon the community are overwhelmed, while the precise nature of Gaunt's evil thrillingly stays just out of focus. King, like Leland Gaunt, knows just what his customers want." -- Publishers Weekly
