Yes, this book is credited with two authors. I have never read Chizmar. But I am quite familiar with King. And make no mistake: This is a Stephen King book, from the idea to the characters to the writing.
All the hallmarks are there -- the young, innocent protagonist put into a situation not of her making. The mysterious man who appears from nowhere to set the story in motion. The evil antagonist who shows up from time to time. The strange artifact not from this world that gets handed down. The philosophical questions about how one would use magical powers if magically granted those powers.
The story moves along quickly, following Gwendy through her teenage years into early adulthood. It's a short book; she is the central character whom the book revolves around, and others are described through her. It's well done, and an easy read.
