LovedBut I really enjoyed Black House. It really tied into The Dark Tower and Mid-World and the Breakers and some of that lore. And I really enjoyed that story.

Black house (2001)
Creators: Loved Preceded by: The Talisman Black House is a horror novel by American writers Stephen King and Peter Straub. Published in 2001, it is the sequel to The Talisman. This is one of King's numerous novels that tie in with the Dark Tower series. Black House was nominated to the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel. The novel is set in Straub's homeland of Wisconsin, rather than in King's frequently used backdrop of Maine. The town of "French Landing" is a fictionalized version of the town of Trempealeau, Wisconsin. Also, "Centralia" is named after the nearby small town of Centerville, Wisconsin, located at the intersection of Hwy 93 and Hwy 35.

LovedCaught me completely off guard because this book is dark. This book is messed up. This book is incredibly weird. It's incredibly Dark Tower.
