100% agree on hoping if this is happening it’s not a collaboration.Originally Posted by St. Troy
I'm sure King could handle writing #3 by himself; that he pulled it so far in the DT direction certainly makes this plausible.
A new co-author would feel wrong to me (especially if it was Chizmar; imagine if Talisman 3 = Gwendy 4).
Apparently it was Straub's idea to bring DT into it but I've always wondered how Straub's fans felt about King's universe taking over. Although maybe there's a lot of overlap.
But yeah I think King could do it by himself, maybe with any notes Straub did with him as an outline. Neil Gaiman is doing additional seasons of Good Omens by himself but some of the ideas came from Terry Pratchett before he passed.

Yeah, King and Straub had been thinking about T3 literally since Black House came out in 2001. I'm sure they must've had notes, at least.Apparently it was Straub's idea to bring DT into it but I've always wondered how Straub's fans felt about King's universe taking over.

Just a few thoughts:
Talisman Trade was published by Viking
Black House Trade was published by Random House
Both of those publishers have been "absorbed".
The S/L editions of Talisman and Black House were done by Grant Publishing.
At the most recent SDCC, I spoke with Robert Weiner, current owner of Grant Publishing.
Robert is either a great actor, or as he related to me, Grant Books is unaware of a Talisman 3, and in fact also unaware of any King new Dark Tower novel.
Of course King might not use DMG for future limited edition DT or Talisman books -----(If King has written either one).
They talked about the idea they had for the third book at an event in Brooklyn in 2015.Yeah, King and Straub had been thinking about T3 literally since Black House came out in 2001.

Do you know anything else, Bev?
They mentioned years ago that the Starkweather killings would be part of the plot.

King talks a little about a third Talisman book in the Talking Dead podcast. He isn't working on it but it's in the "active file." Peter Straub sent him a long letter with a cool idea, but he's not working on it. He said it would be a really long book if he could ever get up the nerve to write it.

Awesome! Let's hope!
Unfortunately Peter Straub passed away 9-4-2022. So any Talisman 3 would be done by SK. He may give Peter credit for it or to mark it as T3.
Peter gave him some thoughts and outlines before he passed SO 100% his name will be on the book. I believe King is already writing it.

He's not -- he said in a recent interview that he reread The Talisman recently but hasn't yet reread Black House because he doesn't want that book to get in his head while he's working on something else. However, he seems more optimistic that he actually will tackle it at some point. Given that he has one book done and another in progress, I can't imagine us seeing it until 2025 at best, and maybe not until 2026.Peter gave him some thoughts and outlines before he passed SO 100% his name will be on the book. I believe King is already writing it.

I agree... I meant 'writing it" to be "working on it" and that can be under any capacity... I do believe we will get it though.

Inspiration and time willing -- he previously mentioned it was in his "active file," which meant he was thinking about it. The more recent interview seems like he really does intend to do it.

A third book has been in the planning stages between the two of them since 2001. I really hope it happens.
How about Emma Straub and Joe Hill pick up the mantle. There's been stranger things.
"That which you think, becomes your world" Matheson
Joe Hill would take 4 years to write the book.
And then CD could publish it for our grandchildren to read.
I'd buy that one
