Stephen King's new novel 'Fairy Tale' sounds suspiciously like 'The Dark Tower' Series or maybe The 'Talisman'

Stephen King's new novel 'Fairy Tale' sounds suspiciously like 'The Dark Tower' Series or maybe The 'Talisman' | ConstantReaders

It is no mystery that I'm a huge fan of The Dark Tower series, but I have to admit, I may enjoy The Talisman/ Black House a bit more. It might be the fact that I didn't have to sit through a Western novel in order to get to the really good stuff, or it might be because I really hate when King kills my favorite characters. Either way, I have to be honest that The Dark Tower books, while magical and truly life-changing, aren't my absolute favorite of King's works.

There has been a lot of buzz about Stephen King's new novel Fairy Tale coming out early this fall. Many are comparing it to his son's Locke and Key. My interest was piqued when I saw a post likening it to The Talisman! So many fans love King for his horror books and movies, but the hardcore Constant Readers tend to be most interested in the not-so-famous works. I am one of those hardcore Constant Readers (obviously).

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, King described his creative process like this: "What could you write that would make you happy? 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. Those images released the story I wanted to tell."

Fairy Tale goes on sale from Simon and Schuster on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022.
