À propos de cet audio
Winner of the 2023 Audie Award for Best Male Narrator
Master storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this #1 New York Times bestselling and spellbinding novel about a young man 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 horrific 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 that shed.
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.
Stephen King's reading in this context and his performance were great (and not very long) I've heard some of the other reading performances he's done and this was the first one I actually didn't mind listening to.
the rest of the book builds up to a turn I should have expected, but was somehow still surprised, I found some of the direction predictable, but I was never bored by things turning out a certain way.
I'd love to learn more about the world and everything that King wrote, though in some aspects it was simple it made the details all that more enthralling.
the narrator does some scenes where you are not supposed to understand what the character is saying by only saying part of the word or a few sentences, I found this charming, but I could see people struggling through it (most of these scenes are kept short) but I think Numrich does a good job at keeping these blurred as far as he can. I enjoyed it, as it allowed me to become immersed into the story.

Master piece. Quite possibly one of his best.

we were really poor and someone had given us a box of paperbacks. (The Exorcist was another one in the box and I sure was sorry I read that one. I'm still traumatized by the crucifix scene)
Mr K has been a huge part of my life ever since. I kind of lost touch after the Dark Tower series and got into a lot more feminist speculative fiction.
So much has happened to me in my life. Some things so horrific that I didn't want to carry on because the pain was too much. Books and films have given me an escape and dogs. In the last eight years sometimes the face of Gilbert, my Shepherd was the only thing that stopped me from ending my life. I was driving to Baja and on the way I had stopped at Stephen and Tabitha's house in Bangor with my dogs and when I ran out of all my other audiobooks I had for the trip, I decided to buy one for the rest of the trip and I saw Fairy Tale and Mr. K was fresh in my mind. I didn't know a thing about it, just liked the title. It was like coming home. Everything about it touched on something sacred to me. especially Shepherds and Monarchs. I fronted a milkweed planting initiative in my county to help the Monarch population resurge. I was in awe that someone else saw just how sacred and special they are.
Even the length of the book was the exact amount of time I had left in my journey. I listened to the final chapter while entering Rosarito. Something magic in his writing, the places he creates. He's the only person I ever wrote a fan letter to. The Seth Numrich was sublime. He really bri gs the story to life. Don't miss out on this very special place to visit! if you loved The Talisman as I did, you will love Fairy Tale!
Written just for me!
