SynopsisTo 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. . . .

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic Stephen King story.
I read this when first published in the mid 80s, and re-read it years later. Having seen it surreptitiously featured in Stranger Things, I was compelled to buy this first edition!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

POOR quality products being sent out, should be detroved instead
The hardcover book should have been thrown away, instead of being re-sold. Binder torn from the book, library markings on edges, inside front cover, etc. Waste of money!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
