Book Review of The Talisman

The Talisman
The Talisman
Author: Stephen King, Peter Straub
Genre: Horror
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 47 more book reviews


Classic Stephen King, with a little temperance from Peter Straub that curbs the usual King gore. It's a story of parallel universes, "twinners" (twins or doubles in parallel universes) and mot importantly, what a boy will do to save the life of his mother. Great characters throughout.
