About this product

Product Information

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.

    More of an adventure than typical King and Straub horror......excellent

    This is a wonderfull copy of this title by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It is the sequel to the Talisman, and I would recommend this book to even people who are not really horror fans because it is more of an adventure. The characters just seem bigger than life and you will fall in love with them right from the start. I would also recommend that you read The Talisman first. That is where the adventure cross country for one very frightened little boy begins!!!!!!

    Character-driven

    Wonderful characters, and the dark humor and detail that only Stephen King can get away with. You can read this one and get the point if you haven't read The Talisman, but why would you? You'd might as well slam them down back-to-back in a weekend, both books are that good. This is the darker and more mature of the two books, as one might expect since the main character is now an adult. Characters you'll love and love to hate abound here, you'll want to know what happens to them all.

    Sequel to The Talisman novel.

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