  • "Die perfekte Mischung aus Fantasy und Horror. Im Vorläufer zu King/Straubs Bestseller 'Das Schwarze Haus' begibt sich der zwölfjährige Jack Sawyer auf eine weite, abenteuerliche Reise, in der Idylle und Entsetzen nahe beieinander liegen. Meisterregisseur Steven Spielberg hat sich die Verfilmungsrechte an 'Der Talisman' für 'DreamWorks' gesichert. Stephen King, 1947 in Portland, Maine, geboren, ist einer der erfolgreichsten amerikanischen Schriftsteller. Schon als Student veröffentlichte er Kurzgeschichten, sein erster Romanerfolg, 'Carrie', erlaubte ihm, sich nur noch dem Schreiben zu widmen. Seitdem hat er weltweit 400 Millionen Bücher in mehr als 40 Sprachen verkauft. Im November 2003 erhielt er den Sonderpreis der National Book Foundation für sein Lebenswerk."
