Relation Concering Books Black House (The Talisman #2)

Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer travelled to a parallel universe called The Territories to save his mother and her Territories "twinner" from a premature and agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world. Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, WI. He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories and was compelled to leave the police force when an odd, happenstance event threatened to awaken those memories.

When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier by a real-life madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed "The Fisherman" and Jack's buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help his inexperienced force find him. But is this merely the work of a disturbed individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What causes Jack's inexplicable waking dreams, if that is what they are, of robins' eggs and red feathers? It's almost as if someone is trying to tell him something. As that message becomes increasingly impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden past, where he may find the soul-strength to enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted track of forest, there to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.

Crit Containing Books Black House (The Talisman #2)

I've read a number of Stephen King's books, enough to consider him one of my favorite authors; and out of everything I've read by him I enjoyed this, along with The Talisman, the most. This has encouraged me to start looking at some of Peter Straub's work as well; however I have yet to do so at this time. What this book has done is inspire me to get into his Dark Tower series, which I had been avoiding doing for some time because I'd heard that it was slow getting into. If that series has ever

I tried to pace myself while I read this delicious and thoroughly enjoyable hybrid of thriller/horror/fantasy storytelling. I didnt want to finish it too quickly and have the magik of The Territories that glimmers off the pages, leave me sooner than necessary. If you are a fan of the Dark Tower series, you should read this as its connected.

I cant believe Ive waited this long before reading. I really enjoyed catching up with Jack Sawyer.

Favorite new book read in 2019 Finally, the Rock has finished all of Stephen King's novels... Well, I don't know if the Rock has or not, but I have! I intentionally left this one for last because I thought it would suck. I thought it would suck because The Talisman sucked and this is the sequel. Boy, was I wrong. It's a shame I gave this so much unwarranted contempt prior to investigation, but it's also nice to go out on a five star read. Well done Messrs. King and Straub.Allow me another

I loved The Talisman. I think I read it when I was 13 or 14. It was a great story about a boy who could cross worlds, and took on a quest to save his dying mom. There were scary parts, but nothing too bad. Also, the line between King's writing and Straub's writing was pretty blurred. Either they shared the load, or one of them wrote while the other edited. I dunno, I could only hear one voice.Years later, I listened to the audiobook and it was still great. Black House is the sequel to The

"What you love, you must love all the harder because someday it will be gone."Twenty years ago, a young boy named Jack Sawyer travelled to a parallel universe called The Territories to save his mother's life. Now a retired homicide detective, Jack has no memory of these adventures. There is a sick serial killer on the loose, murdering and eating children, and the local chief of police begs Jack to help his force catch him.I love Stephen King. I love serial killers. Combine the two and you have a

Stephen King and Peter Straub apparently decided that, since their last collaboration was so great, they would try to follow it with an astounding book that broke every single writing rule in existence. I believe the effort is a prime example of why those rules were made in the first place. Amen.
