Fairy Tale

Legendary storyteller Stephen King's novel follows Charlie Reade, a seemingly ordinary high school student who is great at baseball and football but carries a heavy burden—his mother died when he was young, and his father was driven to alcoholism by grief. At seventeen, Charlie befriends Howard Bowditch, a reclusive, elderly man, and his loyal German Shepherd, Radar, doing odd jobs for them. Upon Bowditch's death, Charlie inherits his estate and a cassette tape revealing a secret: the locked shed in the backyard is a portal to a fantastical, parallel world where good and evil are locked in an epic battle. Driven by a desire to save his aging dog, Radar, Charlie embarks on a spellbinding and dangerous adventure into this other world, where he is thrust into the role of a hero.
