The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Did not mean to upset anyone, would just prefer to keep all discussion and news (or non-news, in this case) to one thread. And this rumor has been going strong since 2001, so it's not something out of the ordinary. The gap between the first and the second books was 17 years. So maybe we'll see Talisman 3 in 2018? Were there any rumors of a sequel between 1984 and 2001, or did Black House come out of the blue pretty much?
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Talisman will always go with Jack Sawyer, sorry. And I'm not annoyed, myself. I'm too bitter to bother.
From Lilja, didn't see any other threads about it.

I'm excited. Black House is one of my favorites. I am a little worried that it will fall under the rule of trilogies (the first one is what it is, the second one is better, the third one sucks) but my optimism is high.

Sweet! Although the thought of more special editions of the first two books doesn't sound so appealing.
Loved both books... The Talisman was my fav King book of all time for a long time...

That's what I'm a little nervous about. I recently bought the gift set for 'Talisman/Black House' from Grant and I'm not looking forward to double-dipping.
That being said... Grant is still trying to get rid of said gift set over a decade later to the point where they're dropping off $65 if you purchase the AE for DT7 with it, so I don't know how quick they would be to do more.

"After reading this, I emailed Peter, who confirmed that the plan is to write the book next year. So, very good news for all fans of The Talisman and Black House!"

Ms Mod's statement on the rumor
I haven't been in touch with Peter so I don't know what he and Steve discussed but I did have a conversation on Wednesday morning with Steve and when I mentioned that the picture with him and Peter from the NYC signing was going to spark speculation about the third book, he just chuckled and said that would be nice but his plan for 2015 is to write the third book for the Mr. Mercedes trilogy. I might also remind people that I think it was at least 3 or possibly 4 years ago that Stephen had said that he and Peter were "planning" to write the third Talisman within the next 2 years. Even though that was the intent, it obviously didn't happen. That's another reason why I have a problem with things like this being announced in unofficial channels. It gets fans hyped up about something that may or may not turn out to happen. Even when it comes from official sources that are at least a little more reliable, it doesn't always pan out. Talisman and Dark Tower movies--need I say more? Bottom line (and this is from Steve) is this, fan sites should be considered rumors about any of his work until any OFFICIAL announcements are made on his site.

Strange that, according to Lilja, Straub confirmed it, yet King is denying it. Weird.
This is kind of an odd situation. King talked about it in Washington DC the other day and Straub confirmed the intentions to write next year. I think Lilja is getting hammered a bit too hard over this. If his two sources are King and Staub what additional fact checking does he need to do??
Do we have a recording of what King said in DC?
If King said he is going to... then what is the issue here guys?

It was being videotaped. I haven't looked for it online yet. I wonder if GWU will have it online someday?
I heard King talk about it in person so that's good enough for me. All the books he talked about writing, he didnt give a schedule. He didnt say when, He just said he had an itch to write another story about those characters. Dark Tower: Jericho Hill, The Stand, and The Talisman.
And we all know Sai King is pretty good about doing whatever the heck he feels like.
Whether or not Miss Mod thinks it is true, I could give a rat's ass. I saw the man himself express he wants to revisit those worlds onstage. And that is Golden dreams and Big fuckin Mojo to me!

I agree. On Wednesday, he said he hopes to write it "next year" with Straub. How is that a rumor, speculation, etc. when he said it himself to nearly 1500 people?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Hopefully there's a recording soon. But then again, Ms. Mod is right, there have been many statements from both King and Straub over the years that they're planing on doing it and it never panned out. Like I wrote earlier in this thread, Black House came out 17 years after The Talisman. So we're right on track for a 2018 publication
Lilja clarified:
In regards to my post from yesterday about that King and Straub hope to write The Talisman 3 next year I want to make it extra clear that it’s their PLAN to do it but it’s NOT set in stone yet and as everyone who has ever made plans to do something know…it’s not always the plan work as you had hoped. Before they can start they will have to coordinate their schedules and so far nothing has been written. So let’s hope they can work their schedule out and once they do I bet it will be info about it on both authors website.

I totally agree. I think that, on the forum, people are definitely being too harsh on Lilja. If Steve has said he HOPE to do so, and that Peter confirmed it, what the hell is wrong about it? Yes it's only a rumor and it's only a HOPE TO DO IT.... but Lilja do not claim that's it's nore more than this.
