Stephen King Book & Movie Club

About this event

Seminar Room. Join us for a spine-tingling journey into the mind of the master of horror, Stephen King! Our Stephen King Book and Movie Club is the perfect place for fans to come together and explore his chilling novels and their cinematic adaptations. Whether you love the books, the movies, or both, our Stephen King Book and Movie Club is the place to be. Come for the horror, stay for the camaraderie! We will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Registration is appreciated. This month’s title is Gwendy's Button Box. 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. At the top of the stairs, Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground. From a bit farther away comes the chink of an aluminum bat hitting a baseball as the Senior League kids practice for the Labor Day charity game. One day, a stranger calls to Gwendy: "Hey, girl. Come on over here for a bit. We ought to palaver, you and me." On a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat like for a suit, 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... Copies of the book are available for pickup at the circulation desk.
