Description
“Black House” is a novel written by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It was first published in 2001 as a sequel to their earlier collaborative work, “The Talisman,” which was released in 1984. “Black House” is a horror novel that combines elements of mystery, fantasy, and thriller.
The story is set in the fictional town of French Landing, Wisconsin, and follows retired detective Jack Sawyer. Jack, who had previously embarked on a fantastical journey in “The Talisman,” is drawn back into a world of supernatural forces and dark mysteries. As he investigates a series of brutal murders, Jack discovers a malevolent force known as the Black House that is connected to a parallel world called “The Territories.”
The novel explores themes of good versus evil, the nature of reality, and the existence of otherworldly dimensions. “Black House” is known for its suspenseful storytelling, complex characters, and the blending of horror and fantasy elements. While it is a sequel to “The Talisman,” it can be read as a standalone work. However, reading both novels provides a more comprehensive understanding of the overarching narrative.
