Is there going to be a third?

**Damaja** · July 16th, 2009

I've heard rumours..
Think I read it somewhere on this board aswell? Just curious because i'm going to be reading both Talisman and Black House shortly.

Yes, both King and Peter Straub said that they plan to gather again someday soon to write the final part of the Talisman trilogy.

**Lily Sawyer** · July 29th, 2009

I am really, really, really, really, really looking forward to a third installment.

I'm re-reading Black House at the moment and savoring it once again.
I agree with John Dalglish: Henry Leyden is the coolest cat in all of King-Straub-dom.

He'd better have a freakin' twinner in The Territories.

i wonder why people decided way back that trilogies were the way to do a series, rather than...a quartet, for instance.

Hi,

Because three's a magic number perhaps?

The Power of Three, the Holy Trinity etc?

I can't express how much I look forward to T3.

I am getting excited just thinking about it. The Talisman is like a good memory. Thinking about Jack and the boardwalk just makes me smile. Oh and Wolf. I cannot listen to Bark of the Moon without thinking of him. I think thats the name of the song.

I'm reading Black House again, and the thought of a sequel to this is both exciting and -- hmmm. Disquieting.

I'd forgotten how parts of this book scared the bejeezuz out of me. Heh.

Steve told me this morning (yes, I was nagging him, JohnD

) that he and Peter are looking at starting this in two years as that's about how long it will take each of them to clear their schedules of the projects they are working on now.
