Needful Things. By Stephen King. First Edition, First Printing. Viking. New York, 1991.

Stephen King is the most popular horror writer of the last one hundred years. His prolific output includes many of the bestselling horror novels of all time. His works have also consistently been adapted to film, making him one the most commercially successful writers ever. Needful Things is one of his most beloved novels. It is the story of a supernatural shop that seemingly carries exactly what its small town patrons desire. While monetary costs are surprisingly low, other costs accrue and horror ensues! It was the first novel King published after his drug rehabilitation. Yet nothing about it screams sobriety. Like many of King’s novels, Needful Things was also adapted to film, starring Ed Harris, Max von Sydow, and Bonnie Bedelia.
