FAIRY TALE - STEPHEN KING GEBUNDEN

' 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.
