Now with a stunning new cover look, the ultimate storyteller Stephen King presents the classic bestseller about a shop where you can buy whatever you want – but it comes at a price.

There is a new shop in town. Run by a stranger.

Needful Things, the sign says. A name that causes some gossip and speculation among the good folks of Castle Rock, Maine, while they wait for opening day.

Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk is the first customer and he gets just what he wants: a very rare 1956 baseball card. Cyndi Rose is next. A Lalique vase. A perfect match for her living room décor.

There is something for everyone. And always at a price you can just about afford. The cash price that
is. Because there is another price. There always is when your heart’s most secret desire is for sale . . .

Reviews

Guardian
An incredibly gifted writer, whose writing... is so fluid that you often forget you're reading
Observer
A sophisticated literary craftsman...his work anatomises...the social fabric of small-town American life
Sunday Telegraph
You can't help admiring King's narrative skills and his versatility as a story-teller
