Needful Things
by Stephen King
There was a new shop in town. Run by a stranger. Needful Things, the sign said. The oddest name. A name that caused some gossip and speculation among the good folks of Castle Rock, Maine, while they waited for opening day.
Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk was the first customer and he got just what he wanted, a very rare 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. Signed.
Cyndi Rose Martin was next. A lalique vase. A perfect match for her living room decor.
Something for everyone. "Something you really had to have. And always at a price you could just about afford. The cash price that is.
Because there was another price. There always is when your heart's most secret, true desire is for sale. --back cover
