ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Fairy Tale by Stephen King introduces Charlie Reade, a seemingly ordinary teenager whose life takes an extraordinary turn through his connection with his elderly and reclusive neighbor, Mr. Bowditch. After inheriting Mr. Bowditch’s house and his secrets, Charlie discovers a hidden well leading to a fantastical yet dangerous other world named Empis. The narrative delves into themes of fantasy, adventure, and the contrast between mundane reality and magical realms. Charlie’s journey to Empis is driven by the need to fulfill a promise and confront the mysteries and perils of this new world, where he encounters strange creatures, a struggling populace, and a looming darkness.
