It follows 17-year-old Charlie Reade who inherits a mysterious portal to a parallel world. With a 4.7-star rating from nearly 14,000 readers, this bestselling story combines authentic teen narration with a dark, thrilling twist on classic fairy tales. ## Description WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But 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. When Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape telling a story no one would believe - inside the shed is a portal to another world. 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 their world or ours. Review: Great book - A great book that I love. I listened to the audio book on audible and liked it enough to buy the book. Friends have borrowed it and like the story as well. Review: Apenas voy comenzándolo… - Apenas voy comenzándolo, pero la voz principal con que está narrada (la del adolescente) y los personajes (el perro, el papá) se me hacen muy auténticos e interesantes. Me emociona seguir avanzando y descubrir cómo se desenvuelve la historia. ## Features - Binding: paperback - Language: english - Manufacturer: Hodder Paperbacks - Brand: Hodder Paperbacks - Publication date: 2023-06-08T00:00:01Z ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #54,943 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #62 in Contemporary Fantasy #400 in Epic Fantasy #561 in Paranormal Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 13,877 Reviews | ## Images ![Fairy Tale: The No. 1 bestseller from the ultimate storyteller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qOyOWDp+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by M***D on 13 June 2026* A great book that I love.
