FAIRY TALE - STEPHEN KING KARTONIERT (TB)

A #1 New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice! 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 that 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. 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 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. Those images released the story I wanted to tell.
