Over the years, the little Maine hamlet of Castle Rock has had its share of odd guests and peculiar happenings, but one tale has never been shared until now.
From the town of Castle Rock, there are three routes that go up to Castle View: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. In the summer of 1974, twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson would climb the steps every day, zigzagging up the cliffside secured by sturdy, albeit rusty, iron bolts.
Gwendy catches her breath at the top of the steps and hears the children on the playground shouting. The sound of an aluminium bat striking a baseball during the Senior League kids' practise for the Labour Day charity game can be heard from a little distance away.
A stranger contacts Gwendy one day and says, "Hey, girl. Come spend some time with us here. You and I should go out and eat."
A guy dressed in black pants, a black coat resembling a suit, and an unbuttoned white shirt sits on a shaded seat. He wears a little, tidy black hat on his head. Gwendy would eventually start having dreams about that headgear.
In this terrifying new novella, award-winning authors of A Long December Richard Chizmar and bestselling author of The Bazaar of Bad Dreams Stephen King transport you back to Castle Rock.
