What would Maine be without Stephen King? Or maybe it really is that Stephen King owes much of its inspiration to Maine. Be that as it may, the telluric acquires a special dimension in this literary tandem that goes far beyond the reality of one of the most recommended states to live in the United States.

Nothing better to start writing than to take references from the closest reality to end up orienting what you have to tell towards a realistic or critical projection or to transform everything, inviting the reader to take a tour of everyday corners on this side of the world; convincing the reader that dark abysses are hidden behind the trompe l'oeil of literature.

And this time it is Maine again where King (co-authored with the unknown to me Richard Chizmar), locates us to live a story that delves into terror from that incomparable subjective perception of characters that end up invading our soul, with black magic of the author's narrative.

Lights and shadows of a young woman named Gwendy (naive evocation in the name to create a greater paradoxical sensation, in the style of her short novel 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon), in a silent and helpless space between Castle View and Castle Rock.

What leads Gwendy every day to move from one side to the other down the stairs of suicides will end up bringing us closer to the most sinister approach to fate, about our decisions and about the fragility to which fear can lead us.

A disturbing figure, as in so many other novels by Stephen King. The man in black who seemed to be waiting for her at the top of the hill where the stairs end. His wake-up call that reaches her like a whisper slipped between the currents that move the leaves of the trees. Perhaps it is that Gwendy chose that path because she expected that encounter that would mark her life.

The guy's invitation to have a relaxed conversation will end up leading to a gift from the man in black. And Gwendy will discover how to use it to her advantage.

Of course, young Gwendy may end up taking advantage of the great use of the gift without the necessary maturity. And it is true that certain dark gifts do not end up bringing anything good, nor can they help Gwendy escape the great emotional battles that life has in store for her ...

As for Castle Rock and its inhabitants, from that moment on we plunge into the grim mystery of inexplicable events for the bewildered and fearful locals. Events about which Gwendy has unfailing clues that give a thorough explanation to everything and that will haunt her until many years later.
