The Talisman and The Dark Tower

[Prince of Darkness]

Hi,

Now tell me, I'm nearing the end of The Talisman - and getting quite pissed at the fact that there seems to be no foreshadowing to most of the events I already know are in Black House.

Tell me, those of you who have read both, are there actual connections to The Dark Tower that are foreshadowed well-enough? I don't want to be a stickler, but I wouldn't like it if Black House is pasted on between the two, seemingly disconnected from The Talisman except for characters and location.

Sorry for the rant, just wondering.

Long days and pleasant nights

I think most people are disappointed by Black House, but not for lack of connections. Black House clarifies the relationship of the territories to the DT multiverse.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.

If you want elemnts of Black House to be foreshadowed in The Talisman, that doesn't really happen. Just the characters and The Territories.

If you want Dark Tower elements in The Talisman, those are there... you just have to look a little harder. One example is that in the very beginning, when Jack remembers almost being kidnapped when he was 4, the kidnappers were Low Men.

We all float down here.

check out the sun dog, stephen, when you get a chance. some interesting linkages there to what you're reading. gotta remember that there's s'posed to be a third to this series, so all the latecomers get to experience the wait. let's hope everyone keeps their eye on the road, their hands upon the wheel.
