英文简介:
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 seven, 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.

中文简介:
传奇故事作家斯蒂芬金在这部引人入胜的小说中深入他的想象力,讲述了一个 17 岁的男孩继承了一个平行世界的钥匙,在这个平行世界中,善恶交战,赌注再高不过了——因为那个世界或我们的世界。
查理·里德看起来像一个普通的高中生,棒球和足球都很出色,是一个体面的学生。
但他背负着沉重的负担。
在他七岁时,他的妈妈在一次肇事逃逸事故中丧生,悲痛驱使他的父亲喝酒。
查理学会了如何照顾自己和他的父亲。
当查理十七岁时,他遇到了一只名叫雷达的狗和她年迈的主人霍华德鲍迪奇,霍华德鲍迪奇是一个隐士,住在一座大山顶的大房子里,后院有一个锁着的棚子。
有时会发出奇怪的声音。
查理开始为鲍迪奇先生工作,对雷达失去了信心。
然后,当鲍迪奇去世时,他给查理留下了一盘磁带,讲述了一个没人会相信的故事。
鲍迪奇知道,并且在他的一生中一直保密的是,棚屋内是通往另一个世界的门户。
金在童话故事中的故事情节飙升。
这是一个宏伟而恐怖的故事,善良与压倒性的邪恶相抗衡,一个英勇的男孩——和他的狗——必须领导这场战斗。
在大流行初期,金问自己:“你能写什么让你快乐?” “仿佛我的想象力一直在等待这个问题被问出来,我看到了一个巨大的荒芜城市——荒凉但充满活力。
我看到空荡荡的街道,鬼屋,一个倒在街上的石像鬼头。
我看到了破碎的雕像(我不知道,但我最终发现了)。
我看到了一座巨大的宫殿,里面有玻璃塔,它们的尖端可以穿透云层。
这些图像释放了我想要讲述的故事。
