Can you imagine The Never Ending Story written by Stephen King? Well, wonder no more, because The Talisman is... sort of like that. It's a fantasy story about a child traveling to a parallel world in order to save the life of his ailing mother AND the other world's queen, but written jointly by Stephen King and Peter Straub? It brings a lot more horror to the table than what we're used to from fantasy tales. Still, it's an amazing read, and one I absolutely recommend! https://youtu.be/nEZ99xIgDSY?si=CrzMusvFvdWncxn-

"He began to cry, not hysterically or screaming as people cry when concealed rage with tears, but with continuous sobs who has just discovered that he's alone and will be for long. He cried because safety and reason seemed to have left the world. Loneliness was a reality, but in this situation, madness was also remotely a possibility." - 'The Talisman' by Peter Straub & Stephen King
