' Fairy Tale is vintage timeless King a transporting terrifying treat' - Guardian 'A blazing flash of creativity . . . King's best book in over a decade' - Esquire 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 seven 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 ageing 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.
