A masterpiece by two geniuses of horror literature. An absolutely creepy story. Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled to the Territories, a parallel world, to save his mother. Now Jack, a former homicide detective, decides to buy a house in a quiet town in Wisconsin. He has no memory of his adventures in the Territories, but he was forced to leave the Los Angeles police when a chance event aroused an inexplicable discomfort. When a series of horrifying murders occur in Wisconsin, the local police chief asks Jack to help him in his investigation. But are those murders simply the work of a disturbed person, or has a mysterious and evil force been unleashed? What is the cause of Jack's strange visions? Is someone trying to tell him something? Jack is dragged back to the Territories and into his own past. Only there can you find the necessary strength to enter the Black House and face the frightening and vile beings of evil that this covers. In Black House Stephen King and Peter Straub tell another story of Jack Sawyer, protagonist of The Talisman, the first book they wrote together.
