A review by jditsch
Fairy Tale by Stephen King

Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
Some of the content gets really ableist in this book and uses disability as a punishment for some different characters. It really ruined my desire to continue reading after getting about halfway and is disappointing to see in a prominent author like Stephen King. Disability usage in fairytale stories for punishment/evil or a derivation of the norm and failure is a tired practice that I wish would end. There are far better ways to evoke horror and punishment outside of stigmatizing the disability community and this book isn’t it.
