Description

A #1 New York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, *Fairy Tale* by Stephen King is a mesmerizing novel that takes readers deep into the limitless depths of imagination. It tells the story of seventeen-year-old Charlie Reade, an ordinary high school student who excels in sports and does well in school but carries the weight of a painful past. After losing his mother in a tragic accident at the age of seven, Charlie watched his father turn to alcohol, forcing him to grow up quickly and take care of them both.

At seventeen, Charlie crosses paths with an aging recluse named Howard Bowditch and his beloved dog, Radar. Living in an old house atop a hill, Bowditch is a mysterious figure, and the locked shed in his backyard only adds to the intrigue—especially when strange noises come from within. Charlie begins helping Mr. Bowditch around the house and quickly forms a deep bond with Radar. But when Bowditch passes away, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape with an unbelievable revelation: the shed is a portal to another world.

With King’s masterful storytelling, *Fairy Tale* unfolds into an epic battle between good and evil, where Charlie and Radar must step up as heroes in a world unlike any other. The novel originated from a simple question King asked himself during the early days of the pandemic: “What could you write that would make you happy?” His imagination responded with vivid images of an abandoned yet living city, empty streets, haunted buildings, broken statues, and a sprawling palace with glass towers piercing the sky. From there, the story took shape, evolving into this breathtaking and terrifying adventure.
