King, like Leland Gaunt, knows just what his customers want. In sixth grade, when Victoria Weaver is asked by new girl Caitlin Somers to spend the summer with her on Martha’s Vineyard, her life changes forever. Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. 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. Master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic 1 New York Times bestseller about a mysterious store than can sell you whatever you desirebut not without exacting a terrible price in return. These are only three of the half-dozen or so brilliantly drawn people met in the novel's one-month time span. Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine. Among them are Polly Chalmers, lonely seamstress whose arthritis is only one of the physical and psychic pains she must bear Brian Rusk, the 11-year-old boy whose mother is not precisely attentive and Alan Pangborn, the new sheriff whose wife and son have recently died.

A new store, Needful Things, opens in town, and its proprietor, Leland Gaunt, offers seemingly unbeatable (read: Faustian) bargains to Castle Rock's troubled citizens.

Of grand proportion, the novel ranks with King's best, in both plot and characterization. With the ``Last Castle Rock Story'' King bids a magnificent farewell to the fictional Maine town where much of his previous work has been set.
