Welcome to the dark side of happily ever after.
 
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student.
 
But when Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her ageing master Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. When Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape telling a story no one would believe - inside the shed is a portal to another world.
 
Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in a spellbinding tale in which good is pitted against overwhelming evil, and a heroic boy, and his dog, must lead the battle. The stakes could not be higher - for their world or ours.
