Narrative In Favor Of Books Black House (The Talisman #2)
Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer travelled to a parallel universe called The Territories to save his mother and her Territories "twinner" from a premature and agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world. Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, WI. He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories and was compelled to leave the police force when an odd, happenstance event threatened to awaken those memories.When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier by a real-life madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed "The Fisherman" and Jack's buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help his inexperienced force find him. But is this merely the work of a disturbed individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What causes Jack's inexplicable waking dreams, if that is what they are, of robins' eggs and red feathers? It's almost as if someone is trying to tell him something. As that message becomes increasingly impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden past, where he may find the soul-strength to enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted track of forest, there to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.

[I wrote this review in late 2001 for amazon.com shortly after reading Black House for the first time.]Hello, My Name Is TreeRider and Im a Stephen King-aholic.If youre a casual Stephen King (or Peter Straub) reader, or just a fan, this book may disappoint you. Likewise if youre expecting further adventures of Jack Sawyer in the Territories. Jack spends very little time in the Territories in Black House, and most of that comes near the end of the book. I prepped myself for Black House by
Each time I pick up a Stephen King book, I am struck by the different writing voice I find. Truth is, I had expected it with Black House, sort of, being co-written with Peter Straub, and yet I was struck all the same. King/Straub narrate much of this tale from a moving birds-eye perspective, floating in and out of each characters stance and location, with a twinge of humor on the side. They dont even try to hide the fact that this account has been written in a book, by two writers even. I
This is actually a sequel to "The Talisman" written with Peter Straub. Quite long like most of King's books, but I always enjoy the ride. Following Jack Sawyer's investigative talents (who kind of doesn't really want to get involved) we find ourselves in a small town where children are disappearing, apparently being eaten. Jack befriends the town cop, some bikers, and begins to unravel the "other" world that seems to blend with "French Landing" with its token crazies, crows, and lurid old men.
