Richard Chizmar Knihy

King and Chizmar join forces again with a powerful stand-alone novel that is also the final chapter in the Gwendy trilogy. When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven coloured buttons promised death and destruction. Years later, the button box re-entered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once more forced to deal with the temptations that the box represented - an amazing sense of wellbeing, balanced by a terrifyingly dark urge towards disaster. With the passing of time, the box has grown ever stronger and evil forces are striving to possess it. Once again, it is up to Gwendy Peterson, now a United States Senator battling the early symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities? Gwendy's Final Task is a wildly suspenseful and at the same time deeply moving novel in which 'horror giants' (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

In the summer of 1988, the mutilated bodies of several missing girls begin to turn up in a small Maryland town. The grisly evidence leads police to the terrifying assumption that a serial killer is on the loose in the quiet suburb. But soon a rumor begins to spread that the evil stalking local teens is not entirely human. Law enforcement, as well as members of the FBI are certain that the killer is a living, breathing madman--and he's playing games with them. For a once peaceful community trapped in the depths of paranoia and suspicion, it feels like a nightmare that will never end.

There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974, twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong, if time-rusted, iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside. Then one day when Gwendy gets to the top of Castle View, after catching her breath and hearing the shouts of kids on the playground below, a stranger calls to her. There on a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat, and a white shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small, neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat.

Set in Castle Rock, Maine, Gwendy's Magic Feather is a wonderful sequel to Gwendy's Button Box written by Richard Chizmar with a foreword by Stephen King.

V létě 1988 se mladý Richard Chizmar ocitl uprostřed zlého snu, když sériový vrah – médii přezdívaný „Bubák“ – narušil pokojný život jeho rodného maloměsta. O více než třicet let později je Chizmar úspěšným spisovatelem, manželem a otcem dvou synů. Těší se jisté slávě i proto, že Bubák – který je ve věznici s nejpřísnější ostrahou – je ochoten hovořit jen s ním, se svým rodákem a vrstevníkem. Chizmar se při těchto rozhovorech snaží získat informace o dalších, zatím nepřiznaných a anonymních obětech, a pomoci tak jejich příbuzným uzavřít tragickou kapitolu jejich života. Ovšem když maskovaná postava zanechá u Chizmarova domu hrůzostrašnou navštívenku, spisovatel si uvědomí, že za tanec s ďáblem musí zaplatit. Je zřejmé, že na scéně je nový vrah, obdivovatel Bubáka a také někdo, kdo musí být s tímto sériovým vrahem ve spojení.
