About the Book:
Legendary
storyteller Stephen King goes deep into the well of his
imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old
boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil
are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for their world or
ours.
Charlie
Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and
football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom
was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief
drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of
himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he meets a dog
named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a
big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the
backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.
Charlie
starts doing jobs for Mr. Bowditch and loses his heart to Radar.
Then, when Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape
telling a story no one would believe. What Bowditch knows, and has
kept secret all his long life, is that inside the shed is a portal
to another world.
King’s
storytelling in Fairy
Tale soars.
This is a magnificent and terrifying tale about another world than
ours, in which good is pitted against overwhelming evil, and a
heroic boy – and his dog – must lead the battle.
Early
in the Pandemic, King asked himself: “What could you write that
would make you happy?”
“As
if my imagination had been waiting for the question to be asked, I
saw a vast deserted city—deserted but alive. I saw the empty
streets, the haunted buildings, a gargoyle head lying overturned
in the street. I saw smashed statues (of what I didn’t know, but I
eventually found out). I saw a huge, sprawling palace with glass
towers so high their tips pierced the clouds. I saw a magic
sundial that could turn back time. Those images released the story
I wanted to tell.”
