Cuento de Hadas: Una Novela / Fairy Tale - Stephen King

Descriere

Bestseller del New York Times. nBIENVENIDOS AL LADO OSCURO DE ÉRASE UNA VEZ n n Estoy seguro de que puedo contar esta historia. También estoy seguro de que nadie se la creerá. Eso me da igual. Me basta con contarla. Para mí --y está claro que para muchos escritores, no solo los novatos como yo--, el problema es decidir por dónde empezar. (...) n n Y ahora, mientras pienso en esas cosas, veo un claro hilo que conduce a lo largo de los años hasta el señor Bowditch y el cobertizo cerrado con candado detrás de su vieja y ruinosa casa victoriana. n n Aunque un hilo puede romperse fácilmente. Por tanto, no un hilo, sino una cadena. Una cadena sólida. Y yo era el crío con el grillete en torno a la muñeca. n nENGLISH DESCRIPTION n nThe New York Times Best Sellers n nLegendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a 17-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 their world or ours. n nKing's storytelling in Fairy Tale soars. This is a magnificent and terrifying tale about another world than ours, in which good is pitted against overwhelming evil, and a heroic boy - and his dog - must lead the battle. n n Early in the Pandemic, King asked himself: What could you write that would make you happy? n n 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. I saw a magic sundial that could turn back time. Those images released the story I wanted to tell.n
