Synopsis
To coincide with the publication of Stephen King and Peter Straub's extraordinary new thriller, BLACK HOUSE, here is the story that started it all. On a brisk autumn day, a twelve-year-old boy stands on the shores of the gray Atlantic, near a silent amusement park and a fading ocean resort called the Alhambra. The past has driven Jack Sawyer here: his father is gone, his mother is dying, and the world no longer makes sense. But for Jack everything is about to change. For he has been chosen to make a journey back across America--and into another realm. One of the most influential and heralded works of fantasy ever written, The Talisman is an extraordinary novel of loyalty, awakening, terror, and mystery. Jack Sawyer, on a desperate quest to save his mother's life, must search for a prize across an epic landscape of innocents and monsters, of incredible dangers and even more incredible truths. The prize is essential, but the journey means even more. Let the quest begin. . . .

    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.

    Great book!

    I love this book. Steven King is one of my favorite authors. I read it years ago, but I wanted it in a hardcover to add to my collection.

    The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub

    This is an excellent story about a young man trying to save his mother from dying from cancer by going on a journey in another world to rescue the Talisman and heal his mother. He meets good and evil along the way, friends and foes. It is a page turner that keeps you turning page after page.

    The Talisman

    A very interesting tale of a young man who discovers an alternate world similar to ours. This story has adventure, drama, suspense, and a little horror all tied together by one of the master storytellers, Stephen King. I found it compelling and hard to put down.
