Said to be inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown," Stephen King's 1994 short story published in The New Yorker "The Man in the Black Suit" opens with the narrator, Gary, a man in his 90s, preparing to write into his diary a terrifying and vivid memory of an event during his childhood in western Maine.
In the memory from 1914, it is himself at age nine as well as his mother, Loretta, and father, Albion, living on a farm in a sparsely populated rural area. His only brother, Dan, has been dead for a year, killed by a bee sting. He has a Scottie dog named Candy Bill. The only other character who appears in the story is the man in the black suit, who is the incarnation of the devil.
