Needful Things is the new shop in Castle Rock, run by Mr. Leland Gaunt. There really is something for everyone. For poor little bewildered Nettie Cobb, there's a fabulous carnival glass lampshade to add to her carefully-protected little collection. Nerdish Norris Ridgewick gets a very special fishing rod at a real bargain price. And Myra Evans buys a picture of Elvis Presley that seems to have magical powers. While the cash prices are a bargain, the balance of payment is costly - and Leland Gaunt enjoys seeing how much people will pay for their secret desires. A secret deal here; a bargain cash amount with a balance owing of a harmless little practical joke to be played on someone - all week, wires are crossed all over Castle Rock until the inevitable explosion occurs that literally sets the town ablaze.
