This first edition, first printing (Viking Press, 1984) of The Talisman unites two masters of modern horror — Stephen King and Peter Straub — in a dark fantasy epic of courage, destiny, and alternate worlds.
When young Jack Sawyer sets out across America to save his dying mother, he discovers “The Territories,” a parallel universe filled with danger and wonder. The Talisman became an instant bestseller and remains one of King’s most celebrated collaborations, later followed by the 2001 sequel Black House.
