    I just watched The Frighteners after several years, I'd like to see what King/Straub would come up with and where Starkweather's place is in The Territories.

    I still have about 200 pages to go and can already tell it's going to be one of my King favorites. So far I think I like The Talisman a bit more, but to be fair, that's one of my favorite books of all time by any author.

    I hope you're right about T3 being even more TDT related... can never get enough TDT

    From Lilja's Library:
    The Talisman 3 At Least 2 Years AwayPosted: February 27, 2016, 00:44:58

    In an interview with Miami Herald Peter Straub talks about the third book in The Talisman series and it looks like we won't see it in atleas a couple of years...

    Q. So is there any truth to the rumors that a third “Talisman” book is forthcoming?

    I certainly hope so. It’s totally dependent on the patience of my saintly collaborator, Steve King. We were supposed to start it three or four years ago, but I had medical problems that stopped me in my tracks. Then I had problems with a book I was doing … so we’re no closer to being able to start it. But part of the reason he’s so patient is we have a great idea for the book. I won’t tell you what it is, but there was a famous story that happened in the world when we were young. He kept a scrapbook about it and so did I, him in Maine and me in Milwaukee. It has a lot of juice in it, and he and I both feel that way about it, so we are eager to do this book. I think he’ll cut me a break and let me go a year or two and then we’ll start working on it.

    A couple of relevant quotes from the End of Watch book tour thread over at the Corner:

    What did he say about in response to the DT book Glenn?

    Nothing new, but that's been the case with this book since 2001.

    Bev, what's your professional opinion? If they indeed start in February, could the book come out in fall of 2018 to keep to the 17-year cycle between the novels?

    Fall 2018 would definitely be a possibility. I'm not sure if King & Straub are looking at the gap in years at all -- it's just whenever they can both get gaps in their schedules at the same time to work on it.

    If they're not aware of "The Talisman Cycle", maybe you can drop some knowledge on them, if you can, to motive the two?

    Kind of a non-update in a recent interview:

    http://ew.com/books/2017/12/22/steph...s-of-the-year/
    A while back you told me you and Peter Straub were considering another return to The Talisman territories. Is that still a possibility?

    Yeah, we’ve kicked it around a little bit. I’ve just got to get clear on some of these other things. Really, I don’t want to collaborate at all for a little while. I want to, you know, run my own railroads.

    Probably not soon. Peter Straub has been struggling with health issues, and is still working on his current novel. From the quote you posted above, it sounds like King wants to work on his own for a bit after the recent collaborations he's done.

    Of course, I have no "insider information" on either authors intentions, so they may surprise us.

    If this were true, and a movie was really being done that would be awesome. I am guessing it would be more than one movie though, and we still have to wait for the third book. But I looked up some stuff and there is recent news, as recent as this month that they are moving forward with a movie. That would be fantastic. Fingers crossed.

    Yes, the movie is happening: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...till-a-reality

    And that quote from King about collaborations was from over a year ago, so things could have changed.

    Very excited for this. I haven't read it in a very long time but it's one of my favorite books. This is only going to be The Talisman right? Not The Talisman and Blackhouse in one movie. Man I am stoked for this.
