內容簡介

內容簡介 查理看起來就像個普通高中生，但那只是他的偽裝，母親在他十歲時因隨機謀殺意外去世後，查理學會照顧自己和父親，但他也開始酗酒來排解憂愁與痛苦的情緒。附近山丘上有一間巨大古老的房舍，裡面住著年邁的霍華‧包迪區和他的狗雷達，查理17歲時遇見霍華，並開始幫霍華跑腿，做點小事情打工，同時他也很喜歡雷達的陪伴，霍華去世後，留給查理一封內容古怪的信，以及他用盡一生隱瞞的秘密─包迪區大宅其實是連接另一個世界的入口！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 ten, 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.”"
