I am honestly on my 13th read of The Talisman, and have to admit I am scared to death to read Black House. Sounds silly probably, but I have this image of Jack in my mind, and his first adventure has moved me in many ways.....does that sound crazy?

This was my first horror novel ever and I loved Charles Burnside's destiny, it was amazing and funny.

I hated this book at first because it took so long to get to know all of the characters but it was difinately worth reading, im glad King did what he did with getting to know them because it all makes sence in the end. Great book but read the Talisman first

I read Black House about two months ago. It's now easily one of my favourite King books...ever. Now, the long wait begins for part three! P.S. Thanks for coming to Toronto! It was awe-inspiring to hear you talk about your work.

i thought that this was a really good book, it had everything you look for in a "king book." truely a master of his craft.

I agree that this was a wothy sequel to the Talisman. As a teenager I read the talisman and absolutley adored it. I fell in love with Jack Sawyer. I fell in love with Wolf! I fell in love with the queen of the b's! And I just finished re-reading Black House (it's been a good 5 years since I read it first) and fell in love with Jack Sawyer all over again. I fell in love with the Territories. I fell in love with the Thunder 5! I cried when Parkus spoke of Roland and his new made gunslingers. I believe this to be a worthy sequal to Talisman and a beautiful addition to the works that surround the Dark Tower. I really hope there will be a sequel to Black House and would enjoy every word if it were written!

To the person who said that it was an unworthy sequel to the Talisman...I believe you are wrong, and that Black House was just the beginning of the twisting of The Dark Tower Series and this set of books. He alluded at the end of Black House of a possible third book, which would be completely awesome.

I had no idea this was a sequel to the talisman. I haven't actually read that but Black House was brilliant. Quite possibly my favourite book. Now I need to read the Talisman. Hahah

Sweet Christ this was a page-turner if I ever read one. I'm 18 years of age and have been a fan of Mr. King's work since I could read above a first grade level. Although I owned The Talisman for many years (among others, duh) I have not yet had the chance to read it. I picked this one off my shelf not knowing when I came into possession of it, and instantly became fixated on finishing it(while at the same time dreading the inevitable truth that it would in fact end). Not having ever read Peter Straub before, it wasn't hard for me to distinguish between his alien personality and King's. I can say now I'm going to seek out Straub's work as I am thrilled to see what he's capable of on his own, ha. I kind of got lost in though here... read this book. I'm snagging The Talisman in about twenty minutes after I shower, and you too sir or ma'am better be on your way out the door, don't forget your keys, to head over to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy. Should you read this Mr. King, I want to sincerely thank you for producing such interesting and lovable stories and characters- I very much admire your work.

This was an amazing book! Your books have been there for me since I was twelve. Thank you for the last 17 years of amazing reading. You are amazing!!!!

An unworthy sequel to "The Talisman". It's a blatant (and failed) attempt to combine the mythos of "the Talisman" with that of "The Dark Tower" series.

where can I buy an audi Cd of the black house? i have the tailman, can't find black house.

The continuing of the Talisman. A great book to read. Make sure you read it after reading the Talisman (to know the past)
Posted By: Casey Rae - 07/23/2008 - 9:39 AM EST
The "Black house" was an interesting book! I just got done reading it 30 minutes ago. It took me about 2 weeks on and off. Characters were great and believable. One certain thing is that you may need to read "The Talisman" before, which i did not do. All in all it was a 'hooking' book.
