I just bought Black House by King/Straub. I have read The Talisman but it has been a long time ago(in otherwards I have forgotten much about it.) Could someone provide a outline of The Talisman? I know I could go back and read it but I have already started Black House and don’t want to stop.

IMHO-You don’t really have to have read ‘The Talisman’ to read/enjoy/understand Black House.
