Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest 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 seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her 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.
