Product Information
Read by15 cassettes/approx. 23 hours The long-awaited sequel to the #1 bestseller The Talisman, to be published on September 15, 2001, the twentieth anniversary of the day The Talisman begins. Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled 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 nonexistant hamlet of Tamarick, Wisconsin. 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 malign 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 must 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.Product Identifiers

Great follow up to The Talisman
As a lover of all things Stephen King, I may be biased. But I enjoyed both Black House and The Talisman very much. They both had the rich and descriptive language that transports the reader to the world the characters inhabit. King's work is always thought provoking from a human psychology perspective. Yet as with most of his works, it is steeped in a fantasy world.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
