Legendary storyteller Stephen King delves into his imagination in this captivating novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world embroiled in a battle between good and evil. Charlie Reade appears to be an ordinary high school student, excelling in sports while shouldering the burden of his mother’s tragic death and his father's descent into alcoholism. At seventeen, he encounters a dog named Radar and her reclusive owner, Howard Bowditch, who lives in a large house with a mysterious locked shed. As Charlie helps Mr. Bowditch, he grows fond of Radar. Upon Bowditch’s death, Charlie discovers a cassette tape revealing a story that defies belief. The secret Bowditch kept is that the shed conceals a portal to another world. King’s storytelling in this novel is both magnificent and terrifying, as it pits a heroic boy and his dog against overwhelming evil. Early in the pandemic, King reflected on what could bring him joy in writing, leading him to envision a vast, deserted city filled with haunting imagery.
