Recenzje

Praise for Fairy Tale

"I read (in one long, long sitting) Stephen King's fabulous Fairy Tale and it was just such a trip! A trip to a magical, terrifying land where wonders and horrors are one. But also a trip back home- to that prose that lulled me into nightmares in my teens. The voice of the King." -Guillermo del Toro

"Stephen King has all the daring, enchantment and even romance of a classic bedtime story, but King's signature unsettling style will keep you sitting up straight and wide-eyed rather than drifting off to dreamland." -Vanity Fair

"You'll be grateful that there are 600-plus pages of it to remind you several times over how much fun that kind of reading experience is... Good, evil, a kingdom to save, monsters to slay-these are the stuff that page-turners are made from." -Laura Miller, Slate

"A page-turner driven by memorably strange encounters and well-rendered, often thrilling action." -The New York Times Book Review

"An enthralling, adventurous read that will, like any genuine fairy tale, scare you half to death and lift up your heart... A splendid work of world-building." -Colette Bancroft, The Tampa Bay Tribune

"Once upon a time, Stephen King dared to write a novel called 'Fairy Tale' and totally lived up to that simple but lofty title... The book bursts with creativity... A profound story of good vs. evil that's timeless and timely... life-affirming... After turning that last page, you'll feel a little stronger in spirit, yearn for another story and, dare we say, maybe even live happily ever after." -Brian Truitt, USA Today

"Lovely... captures the creeping suspense of childhood classics." - The Chicago Tribune

"If writing this beautiful, exciting, touching fairy tale did the trick for him, then imagine what it will do for you as a reader." -Emily Burnham, Bangor Daily News

"Ambitious, pure, and powerful... One of King's grandest narrative statements, and another must-read book from a master." -Matthew Jackson, Syfy Wire
