Die kleine Stadt Castle Rock, Stephen-King-Lesern bereits vertraut, ist Schauplatz dieses Romans. Hier eröffnet Leland Gaunt, ein Zugereister, einen Laden, in dem sich jeder seine geheimsten Wünsche erfüllen kann. Dem Kaufmann bereitet es Vergnügen, herauszufinden, wieviel die Leute für die Erfüllung ihrer Sehnsüchte zu zahlen bereit sind. Er verlangt horrende Preise, und seine Machenschaften versetzen ganz Castle Rock in Angst und Schrecken.
Klappentext:
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 . . .
