Rendition Conducive To 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.

Piece Appertaining To Books Black House (The Talisman #2)

This is actually a sequel to "The Talisman" written with Peter Straub. Quite long like most of King's books, but I always enjoy the ride. Following Jack Sawyer's investigative talents (who kind of doesn't really want to get involved) we find ourselves in a small town where children are disappearing, apparently being eaten. Jack befriends the town cop, some bikers, and begins to unravel the "other" world that seems to blend with "French Landing" with its token crazies, crows, and lurid old men.

I actually enjoyed this a little more than The Talisman. However, I would say that if you did not like The Talisman, you may not enjoy this one either. It does have a darker, more horror-like feel to it. Overall, I enjoyed it. Liked getting back to see Jack Sawyer. I'm Looking forward to the third book, if it is ever written, although I probably would want to read the Dark Tower series before I read it. Overall, I would say 3.5/5 stars rounded up.

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

In the early eighties, Stephen King and Peter Straub embarked on the ultimate coming-of-age tale. The Talisman easily solidified the collaboration's super status. Then, nearly two decades later, they returned to their literary roots. Black House portrays a different Jack Sawyer, now a semi-retired Los Angeles detective. He won't remain there much longer, though. By requesting his expertise in a major case, a colleague-turned-friend leads him to Wisconsin, where his life will be irrevocably

4.5 stars rounded up. Spoiler-free review. Spoiler discussion, Thursday Theorist episode, and spoiler-free review coming to YouTube this week.Not being a fantasy fan, is it any wonder that I like this book more than its predecessor The Talisman? This one is far more engaging and interesting to me due to the characters and setting, not to mention it's written in one of my favorite styles: third-person omniscient. Not many books are written in this style anymore. An editor once told me it's
