The novel “Fairy Tale” surprises.
The book is not a horror novel, but a fairytale fantasy novel.
Which is actually common with Stephen King.
It reminded me a little bit of The Talisman.
The author wrote this together with his friend and colleague Peter Straub, who passed away last year.
Thanks to everyone who read FAIRY TALE.
I appreciate it.

In addition, "Fairy Tale" has a touch of Michael Ende's "The Neverending Story" and a dash of "Momo" to it.
Which, in my opinion, makes the novel all the more likeable.

Bad guys make the world gray.
But Charlie opposes this.
If only because he wants to save Radar, the dog.
Seventeen-year-old Charlie Reade does not have an easy life.

One day, his mysterious deathbed neighbor, who is avoided by everyone, reveals a secret to him that ultimately leads Charlie on an adventurous journey to another, strange world.
Mighty creatures are up to mischief there.
The downtrodden residents see Charlie as their savior.
But to do this, he must first free the princess, the rightful mistress of the fantastic fairytale kingdom, from her cruel suffering.

Stephen King Fairy Tale: My Verdict
If you don't like Stephen King's lengthy narrative style, you've come to the wrong place.
I think she's wonderful and in "Fairy Tale" she conveys a partly gloomy and oppressive mood, but also an empathetic feeling.
The characters are meticulously executed and whimsical, just in the King way.
A reading recommendation for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a foreign world.
