Dark & Epic Fantasy

The Talisman

by Stephen King

Twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer embarks on an epic quest across America and its dark fantasy parallel world, the Territories, to save his dying mother. Armed with determination and a mysterious talisman, Jack confronts monsters, malevolent forces, and his own fears in a sprawling adventure. King and Straub's collaboration blends dark fantasy, horror, and a meditation on childhood's end into an ambitious mythic journey.
