Talisman 3

[Ari_Racing]

Lilja did one perfect move: contacted Straub, who confirmed this. If King's office said otherwise, then it's not his fault. He contacted one of the authors of the book...good source.

King confirms his hope to write T3 next year here (around 1 hour 10 minute mark): https://soundcloud.com/slateradio/st...politics-prose

I'm currently re-reading The Talisman for an upcoming review, and it has gotten me so excited for The Talisman 3. I hope it's the story of Jack's child. I think it would be a perfect ending, coming full circle. www.stephenkingcast.podbean.com

KA is a wheel

[stephenkingcast]

Yes it is!

Thanks to Lilja's site, here's Straub talking about T3 last year:



Maybe an announcement in Brooklyn?

[Deckard2112]

Info like this is why I come here. Delighted to hear about this

[taggs7475]

Hope this happens I am reading The Talisman now and its glorious

It is! It is glorious!

[webstar1000]

yep... one of my favs for sure!

[TCCBodhi]

Strangely, that is what I'm reading again. It has been 5 or 6 years at least, if not longer; could even be as long when Black House came out since I gave it a read. It's been too long.

[Girlystevedave]

I keep waiting for the right time to revisit The Talisman. That book will always hold a big piece of my heart.

[wordslingers]

I'm really hoping this pans out, there's something magical about The Talisman and Black House that I'd love more of.

AGREED!

What's coming next from Peter Straub?
There may be a third collaboration with Stephen King. We have the germ of a story firmly in place. All we need is time during which we're both free.

I like the "firmly" but not the "germ". Didn't they have that germ ten years ago? Still, I'm hopeful my prediction for 2018 holds (17 years between each book).

[Bev Vincent]

The first time they talked about the "germ" in an optimistic way was at the Brooklyn event last year.

[mtdman]

The Talisman is the book that got me started reading King. I would love to see more adventures of Jack Sawyer.

[wolfehr]

I'm currently reading Black House and Jack Sawyer is just as amazing as I remember. Perfect timing for some good news about the finale

[Bunyip]

Agreed. I am stoked about this coming to fruition....( fingers crossed and hope)

[Brian861]

I have yet to read either book so I'm hoping the trilogy will be completed so I can read them all back to back to back.

[Bev Vincent]

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.

[webstar1000]

Wow... so this is a LONG WAY off I was hoping they were knee deep already. I will wait though!! LOVED Talisman and Black House!

[wolfehr]

I can be patient for another more Jack Sawyer story. Well, I can at least try...

[Ari_Racing]

They mentioned the idea time ago. It was about the Starkweather Murders.
