The Talisman is a 1984 fantasy novel by Stephen King and Peter Straub about a 12-year-old boy, Jack Sawyer, who journeys across America and a parallel world called "the Territories" to find a mystical artifact, the Talisman, to save his dying mother. The book blends fantasy, horror, and adventure, featuring "twinners" (alternate-world counterparts) and a quest inspired by Huckleberry Finn and The Lord of the Rings. It was followed by a sequel, Black House, and a third book is in development.
