I'll read it but with low expectations and because it is short.
Is this volume co-written or is it Chizmar only?

About the Book:
When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a mysterious stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven colored buttons promised death and destruction.
Years later, the button box entered Gwendy’s life again. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once again forced to deal with the temptation that box represented.
Now, evil forces seek to possess the button box and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?
In Gwendy’s Final Task, “horror giants” (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

Cemetery Dance Publications is pleased to announce that Gwendy Peterson, heroine of the New York Times bestselling Gwendy's Button Box and Gwendy's Magic Feather, will be returning to bookstores everywhere on Feb. 15, 2022, in Gwendy's Final Task, an original novel by "horror giants" (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar that will take readers on a spellbinding journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine town to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.
"Several years ago, when I was roadblocked on a story called Gwendy's Button Box, Richard Chizmar rode to the rescue and finished it," Stephen King said. "The little book that resulted was fun for us and fun for readers, so I was happy when Rich decided to write a sequel, called Gwendy's Magic Feather. It was great to see Gwendy all grown up and succeeding not only in politics but as a writer. We both felt her story needed a third act — if, that was, the act was a good one. We think Gwendy's Final Task is a great conclusion to her story, and hope readers will agree."
Richard Chizmar said, "Spending time with Gwendy Peterson is always a joy, and the writing of Gwendy's Final Task was a real pleasure from start to finish. Steve and I followed her to some unexpected places and had a heckuva lot of fun doing it."
And editor Ed Schlesinger said, "Gwendy's Final Task is an astonishing collaboration, the epic finale of an unforgettable tale that has truly taken on a life of its own — Constant Readers should expect the unexpected in every suspense-filled moment spent with Gwendy Peterson."
Gwendy's Final Task will be published in hardcover and eBook formats by Cemetery Dance Publications on Feb. 15, 2022. Simon & Schuster Audio will publish the audiobook on that same day, with Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, publishing a trade paperback and its own eBook edition later in the spring.
This is already shaping up to be a busy year for Stephen King and Richard Chizmar. In addition to completing their work on the Gwendy Peterson trilogy, Scribner will publish Billy Summers by Stephen King, a novel about a killer-for-hire, on Aug. 3, 2021, and Gallery Books will publish Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar, a story of small-town evil that combines the storytelling power of Stephen King with the true-crime suspense of Michelle McNamara, on Aug. 17, 2021.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.

Is Gwendy Roland's daughter?

Nobody will care but it really does bother me that in the book, chapter 43, there are 3 expressions written in french.
They dont really bring anything to the story, but two of them are not correct.
Even a simple Google check would have spotted them
It's a shame, I would have had one of the ARC when Richard started posting pictures of them, I could have told them and the books may have been fixed before they were printed.
I wondered a couple of weeks ago if I should mention it to Richard or not, in order to fix it for the Gallery Books version, but I am not sure. It would probably create some frustration for nothing.
Oh well. I guess french readers will eventually read the translation and won't notice the mistake
But really : writers, whomever you are.
If you want to put a few french expressions in your book.
Ask some actually french people. And not either some french canadians, because well. There are some differences, just like US/UK I guess

The same happened with Billy Summers and a Spanish expression/text. I reported it so they'd correct it before it was printed and didn't get an answer. The mistake remains there.

Another one that bugs me but is even less significant : i reckon that it's in "The bazaar of bad dreams", where is a note about the inspiration behind "That bus is another world" coming from parisian traffic, when he visited Paris and the wrong year is mentionned.
It's irking to me because it's so obvious it's wrong lol

I reported that one as well when I got the proofs. Uk replied immediately but USA didn't. I hear they corrected it in later editions.

I generally order books from Amazon but got this one directly from CD. Should I expect it to arrive on Tuesday or ship then?
