Quand Gwendy Peterson avait douze ans, Richard Farris, un homme étrange coiffé d'un chapeau melon, lui a donné une boîte munie de boutons capable de distribuer friandises et pièces anciennes, mais aussi de détruire des mondes. Les années ont passé ; Gwendy est devenue sénatrice du Maine et une écrivaine célèbre. Un jour, la machine maudite réapparaît dans sa vie. De mystérieux hommes en jaune veulent mettre la main dessus, et Gwendy doit les en empêcher, quel qu'en soit le prix. Mais où dissimuler un objet avec de tels pouvoirs ?

Au lendemain d'une tempête de neige, le shérif Norris Ridgewick et son équipe recherchent désespérément deux jeunes filles disparues, mais le temps presse et les chances de les retrouver vivantes s'amenuisent. À Washington, Gwendy Peterson, trente-sept ans, n'a plus rien à voir avec l'adolescente complexée qui passait son été à courir dans Castle Rock. L'été de ses douze ans, on lui avait confié l'extraordinaire boîte à boutons de Richard Farris, l'homme énigmatique au costume noir. Gwendy recevait des cadeaux de la part de la fameuse boîte en échange de ses soins et de son attention.

Trois chemins permettent de gagner Castle View depuis la ville de Castle Rock : la Route 117, Pleasant Road et les Marches des suicidés. Comme tous les jours de cet été 1974, la jeune Gwendy Peterson a choisi les marches maintenues par des barres de fer solides qui font en zigzag l'ascension du flanc de la falaise. Lorsqu'elle arrive au sommet, un inconnu affublé d'un petit chapeau noir l'interpelle puis lui offre un drôle de cadeau : une boîte munie de deux manettes et sur laquelle sont disposés huit boutons de différentes couleurs. La vie de Gwendy va changer. Mais le veut-elle vraiment ?

For all we know, or think we know, about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, what we don’t know is far, far greater. In the duo’s first case, A Study in Scarlet, we learn that Holmes and Watson met on January 1st, 1881, and subsequently moved into an apartment together at 221b Baker Street. Their first case officially began on March 4th of that year, and it is argued that “The Adventure of the Resident Patient” possibly took place in October of 1881, depending on which version of the story you read.

Our ‘fight of flight’ response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain. Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel. Everything else is abandoned in order to survive. Whilst in modern times that ability has been somewhat modified and ‘reasoned’ away to an extent, in past years it’s what usually kept you alive. In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face.
