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 where good and evil are at war, with high stakes for both realms. Charlie Reade appears to be a typical high school student, excelling in sports and academics, but he carries the weight of his mother's tragic death in a hit-and-run and his father's descent into alcoholism. At seventeen, Charlie encounters Howard Bowditch, a reclusive man with a large dog and a mysterious locked shed in his backyard. Following Bowditch's death, Charlie inherits the house, a fortune in gold, and a cassette tape containing an unbelievable story, along with a daunting responsibility. The shed conceals a portal to another world, where its inhabitants are in danger from monstrous leaders threatening both their existence and Charlie's world. This alternate universe features two moons, a towering palace, exiled royalty facing brutal punishments, dungeons, and deadly games for entertainment. A magical sundial offers the power to reverse time. This tale, rich in myth and suspense, follows an ordinary boy thrust into a hero's role by fate, delivering a spectacularly satisfying narrative.
