With September comes the end of the summer holidays here in the UK and the beginning of Fall. While it is always sad to say goodbye to summer, there is a certain beauty to Fall which makes it appealing. But, more pleasing than Fall are these new releases coming out this month!
Just JJ’s top pick:
Title: Fairy Tale
Author: Stephen King
Genre: Fantasy, Horror
First impression: It is the name, cover and premise for me!
Charlie Reade is not your regular high school kid. He may be a decent student, great at baseball and football, but he has had to learn how to take care of himself. Then, Charlie meets Howard Bowditch, a recluse who later dies and leaves Charlie his house, stacks of gold and an unbelievable tale. Howard’s shed, which has always been a source of strange sounds, is actually a portal to another world. A world whose residents are in danger and whose monstrous leaders may destroy their worlds and ours. In this parallel universe, good and evil are at war, and Charlie is the unlikely hero who must make things right. So… no pressure!
