Fairy Tale By Stephen King
Stephen King, the legendary storyteller, takes readers on a captivating journey in his #1 New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, "Fairy Tale." The novel centers around seventeen-year-old Charlie Reade, who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil wage war.
Charlie, an ordinary high school kid with a heavy past, meets a dog named Radar and her owner, Howard Bowditch. As Charlie takes on jobs for Bowditch, he discovers a locked shed with strange sounds emanating from it. Upon Bowditch's death, Charlie inherits a cassette tape revealing a fantastical story – a secret kept by Bowditch all his life. Inside the shed is a portal to another world.
With masterful storytelling, King weaves a tale of magic, terror, and imagination. Charlie's connection with Radar and the revelation of the portal add layers of complexity to a narrative that explores themes of grief, childhood tenderness, and the battle between good and evil.
Described as "spellbinding" and "vintage King at his finest," "Fairy Tale" delves into the essence of page-turners, offering a magnificent and terrifying experience. Laura Miller of Slate praises the novel for its exploration of elemental themes – good, evil, the quest to save a kingdom, and the courage to slay monsters.
King's storytelling prowess shines through, creating a work that resonates with readers and showcases his ability to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary. 📚❤️
