I've read The Talisman about twenty years ago, and now that the third book of the series (Other Worlds Than These) is coming out later this year, I decided to re-read it.

If you love the Dark Tower series, do not miss this book and the next that comes after it, called Black House.

​

This is a story, an impossible adventure, of a modern-world kid on a quest to save his dying mom from cancer. To save her, he must leave her and travel between our world and the Territories, which is a parallel world that closely resembles Mid-World.

​

It's a perilous, fun, frightening adventure filled with good and evil, love and hate, and lost innocence, written by two masters of storytelling.
