One thing you’ll notice, if you stick around long enough, is my love for Stephen King. I’ve read a lot of his books. This one surprised me though.
First of all, if you’re thinking Mr. King = scare the living daylights out of you? Normally, yes. This one? Not so much.
This is more fantasy. There is an element of fright to it, given that there are monsters in the other world. But it’s probably not going to keep you up at night (unless it’s to finish reading it).
It isn’t for everyone. Some people hate it. Stories are like that. Not everyone is going to love what you write. But I certainly loved this.
Synopsis: Charlie’s mom died after being hit by a car. Charlie’s dad melts down into alcoholism. When he’s 17, Charlie meets Mr. Bowditch. The shed in Mr. Bowditch’s yard leads to another world. And the center of the story is a magical sundial that can turn back time.
