jengoertz's review against another edition

4.0

A comfortably short novella, and classic King (and Chizmar)! When 12-year-old Gwendy is given a mysterious box by a mysterious stranger, her life starts to subtly improve... but the temptation to push those malicious buttons might be too great. This is more of a psychological story, relatively light on horror and gore, and a great read.
