The Talisman by Peter Straub, Stephen King

5.0

More like 4.5 but I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Also I felt like both authors did a great job of character creation, setting, and overall story projection! I love the idea of an alternative universe that is right beside ours that is only a little different! That plays into the whimsy of childhood imaginations! I also think for a dark fantasy book this is a success because it’s very close to magical realism while still feeling out there.
