Gwendy's Button Box

Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar, 164 pages

Gwendy was a young, bullied girl when a strange man gave her an even stranger box with levers that dispensed small chocolate animals and silver dollars, and yes, some hard-to-push buttons. But it's good that those buttons were hard to push, as each had the ability to cause a tragedy on a grand scale, something Gwendy finds out the hard way.

Rather than being a traditional horror story, Gwendy's Button Box is closer to a mix between Pandora's box and The Tell-Tale Heart. It's short, but full of creeping fear and suspense. A good and creepy way to spend a couple of hours.
