"A much-anticipated collaboration" between two acclaimed masters of modern horror fiction "resulted in The Talisman, whose setting is split between the contemporary United States and the Territories, a dark parallel universe in which magic holds sway… The 12-year-old protagonist Jack Sawyer (his name a homage to Mark Twain) befriends a werewolf in the Territories and brings him back to the United States, where the two battle various adversaries in an epic quest" (Clute & Grant, 902).

Fine condition.
