We realize very quickly that something out of the ordinary has been occurring in French Landing, as three children have been murdered by a serial killer calling himself The Fisherman. The book begins with an introduction to a town by the name of French Landing, Wisconsin.
So sit down, put your seat belts on, and join me, as I light out for The Territories once again, as I recap and review Black House. Plus, Black House is just plain scary! Some of the things that happen in Black House are just entirely too plausible, and no one does “real life” horror better than Sai King, in my opinion. But, like Insomnia, Black House could almost be considered to be another Dark Tower book, without the words “ Dark Tower” anywhere in the title or description of the book. Not surprisingly, Black House is also connected to The Dark Tower series, as do most of King’s books. Now, Black House may be a follow up to The Talisman, but make no mistake about it, it is so much more than a “sequel” (really, the word sequel has four letters in it, I am sure) to The Talisman.īlack House adds to the story of Jack Sawyer and to the mythos of that awesome place known as “ The Territories,” although it brings up A LOT more questions than it answers (more on that later.) And they decided to answer this question with a follow up to The Talisman: Black House. Well, The Master and his cohort, Peter Straub, grew curious about Jack as well. What kind of person had he grown up to be? Hopefully, he was even more awesome. However, like the cool people I met at summer camp, Jack exited my life too quickly. I would want Jack in my corner any day of the week. And was more bad ass than people three times his age. He was the coolest, even at the tender age of 12. I first met Jack Sawyer when I read The Talisman. One of my favorite characters from any Stephen King novel (yeah, you knew where this was going, don’t act surprised) is Jack Sawyer. Hopefully, the awesome children turned out to be even more awesome adults. And I wonder what happened to them, and what kind of adults they turned out to be. Sometimes, I think about those people I met in childhood, especially the ones who I only knew for such a short period of time. Those two weeks seemed like a lifetime to me, but a lifetime that flew by too quickly. I met so many people at all those nerdy summer camp programs that I attended who were the greatest, but I only had the privilege to know them for all of two weeks, at the most. Sometimes, it’s the ones who are in your life for the shortest amount of time who have the most impact. In fact, you meet people, and they come in and out of your life. It’s easy to meet other people when you are a child. And live in a neighborhood, surrounded by other people, many of whom are families with children. This seems to be especially true in childhood.
