Synopsis
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.

    Item arrived undamaged, even though there was a big gash in the side of the box. The seller packaged the item very well, and even attached "fragile" stickers. Thank goodness the item survived the exterior box damage. If I were the seller, I might want to use another carrier other than Fed Ex. The item is in great shape and works exactly as described. The price was very competitive. I would recommend this seller to anyone.

    Am so very happy with this purchase. I palced a bid. the seller came back with a fair counter offer. Upon purchase, the seller shipped the amp to me in a very well packed box, so it arrived in great shape. Based on the item description I was expecting an unsightly scratch on the front face of the unit. To my delight it looks brand new. And the performance is more than what I expected. Thank you! Thank you!!! Will strongly recommend this seller to my friends.

    Stephen King is a fantastic writer.

    When a series of 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.

    Sequel to The Talisman novel.

    Sequel to The Talisman, also written by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Worth the read.
