Synopsis:
In this sequel to The Talisman, Jack Sawyer is now in his late thirties and has taken early retirement from the LAPD, retreating to a small town in Wisconsin. He has no memory of his adventures as a twelve-year-old boy, when he traveled into a parallel universe in search of the talisman that would save his mother's life. A series of murders involving young children force him out of retirement. There is more to these cases than murder, though, and Jack must retrieve his childhood memories to rescue the latest victim, who is coveted by the killer's evil overlord, a powerful force from End-World, in Roland the gunslinger's universe.

I agree that this was a wothy sequel to the Talisman. As a teenager I read the talisman and absolutley adored it. I fell in love with Jack Sawyer. I fell in love with Wolf! I fell in love with the queen of the b's! And I just finished re-reading Black House (it's been a good 5 years since I read it first) and fell in love with Jack Sawyer all over again. I fell in love with the Territories. I fell in love with the Thunder 5! I cried when Parkus spoke of Roland and his new made gunslingers. I believe this to be a worthy sequal to Talisman and a beautiful addition to the works that surround the Dark Tower. I really hope there will be a sequel to Black House and would enjoy every word if it were written!

To the person who said that it was an unworthy sequel to the Talisman...I believe you are wrong, and that Black House was just the beginning of the twisting of The Dark Tower Series and this set of books. He alluded at the end of Black House of a possible third book, which would be completely awesome.

I had no idea this was a sequel to the talisman. I haven't actually read that but Black House was brilliant. Quite possibly my favourite book. Now I need to read the Talisman. Hahah
