WITH A DEMONIC BLEND OF MALICE AND AFFECTION STEPHEN KING SAYS GOODBYE TO THE TOWN HE PUT ON THE MAP--- CASTLE ROCK, MAINE .... WHERE POLLY CHALMERS YOU SEW AND SEW AND SHERIFF ALAN PANGBORN IS IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THE PEACE. IT'S A SMALL TOWN AND STEPHEN KING FANS MIGHT THINK THEY KNOW ITS SECRETS PRETTY WELL: THEY'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.
LELAND GAUNT IS A STRANGER AND HE CALLS HIS SHOP NEEDFUL THINGS. ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD BRIAN RUSK IS HIS FIRST CUSTOMER, AND BRIAN FINDS WHAT HE WANTS MOST OF ALL IN THE WORLD: A 56 SANDY KOUFAXBASEBALL CARD. BY THE END OF THE WEEK MR GAUNT BUSINESS IS FAIRLY BOOMING AND WHY NOT? AT NEEDFUL THINGS, THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
AND OF COURSE, THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE. FOR LELAND GAUNT THE PLEASURE OF DOING BUSINESS LIES CHIEFLY IN SEEING HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR THEIR MOST SECRET DREAMS AND DESIRES. AND AS LELAND GAUNT ALWAYS POINTS OUT , AT NEEDFUL THINGS, THE PRICES ARE HIGH INDEED.
IN NEEDFUL THINGS STEPHEN KING DELIVERS ANOTHER SPELL BOUND TALE.
A NICE CLEAN HARDCOVER USED COPY. HAPPY SHOPPING. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS, THANK YOU.
