'''Gwendy's Button Box''' ist der Titel einer Novelle, welche von [[Stephen King]] und [[Richard Chizmar]] geschrieben wurde.
 
Eine Rezension von Publishers Weekly:
 
This absorbing novella by horror giants King (End of Watch) and Chizmar (A Long December) revisits one of King's most popular locales. It's 1974 when 12-year-old Gwendy Peterson is offered a magic box by a man named Richard Farris, whom she meets at the top of one of the cliffside Suicide Stairs in Castle Rock, Maine. Farris wears a "small neat black hat" and seems to know just who Gwendy is and what she wants. Eight buttons grace the mahogany box he offers to Gwendy, and a lever dispenses silver dollars and intricate chocolates that Farris claims will help Gwendy lose weight and escape being called 'Goodyear' by her classmates. Lose weight she does, but that's not all. Wonderful things keep happening in Gwendy's life, and she's happier than she's ever been. But when she decides to press one of the buttons, the consequences are horrendous. The novella follows Gwendy through high school and beyond, capturing the golden-hued joy of childhood and the wonder of friendship and first love, all under the shadow of temptation. This bite-size gem of a story packs quite a punch, and the only complaint readers will likely have is that it isn't longer.

*Im Februar teilte Chizmar mit, das er gemeinsam mit King eine Novelle schrieb, welche in der Stadt [[Castle Rock]] spielen wird. Die Geschichte soll als eigenes Hardcover erscheinen.
*Ob diese neue Story irgendwelche Überschneidungen mit der etwa zur selben Zeit angekündigten Serie ''[[Castle Rock (Serie)|Castle Rock]]'' haben wird, ist unklar.
