The small town has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitor 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. Everyday in the summer of 1974 twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson takes the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliff side.

One day, while Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground and the chink of an aluminium bat hitting a baseball, a stranger calls out to her. On a bench in the shade sits a man in a small, neat black hat. He offers Gwendy a mahogany box with colored buttons. The buttons will produce gifts, such as chocolate which can make you slimmer. But he warns her that the gift will be "small recompense for the responsibility".

"A resonant novella set in one of King's signature locales: the small town of Castle Rock, Maine."
