Black House
Publisher's Summary Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel universe called the Territories to save his mother and her “Twinner” from an agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world. Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, Wisconsin. He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories, and he was compelled to leave the police force when a happenstance event threatened to awaken those long suppressed and dangerous memories. When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier, Jack’s buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help find the killer. But are these new killings merely the work of a disturbed individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What causes Jack’s inexplicable waking dreams - if that is what they are - of robins’ eggs and red feathers? As these cryptic messages becomes impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden past. ©2001 Stephen King and Peter Straub. All rights reserved.

Almost impossible to follow the story line.Straub must have written it and King was nuts to have put his name on it.
Would you listen to Black House again? Why?I love Stephen King as much as the next guy, but I probably would not. It was a good story, but I suppose that I've grown tired of the Territories.What other book might you compare Black House to and why?The Talisman and The Dark Tower series. Same settings and familiar faces.Any additional comments?Frank Muller was incredible as always. If you've read/listened to The Talisman, you should definitely experience this conclusion of the tale.
I loved the Talisman and couldn't wait to jump into Black House but this sequel like most fell short. Without giving away anything, I will say that except for the main character and a few brief references to a few others from the Talisman, this is a completely different story.Unlike the Talisman, a book filled with adventure, this is a detective novel with a few twists. It was interesting enough that I didn't abandon it as I have done with a few books, sequel or not, but it simply could not hold a match to the Talisman. Would still recommend to anyone who wants to find out what happens to Jack or who likes derive stories.
