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 17, he meets a dog named Radar and his 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharlie 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKing’s storytelling in \u003cem\u003eFairy Tale\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly in the Pandemic, King asked himself: “What could you write that would make you happy?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“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.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"simon and schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52557986955495,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1481\/3159\/files\/FairyTale.jpg?v=1788384569","url":"https:\/\/mystictomes.net\/products\/fairy-tale","provider":"Mystic Tomes ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
