the talisman: who's your twinner baby?
Thursday, December 07, 2006
Stephen King has long been one of my guilty pleasures. Yes I know that the so-called 'academic elite' calls him a hack. And maybe he is. But if being the best-selling novelist in the world, and the most financially successful horror writer in history means some people call you a hack, I'd say smile and tell the whole world to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.
Which is pretty much what King does.
One of my favourite books of all time is King's collaborative work with Peter Straub, The Talisman
. Its an epic story about a young kid on a journey to save the life of his dying mother, as he travels back and forth between our world and a parallel world full of mirror versions of us that are more different than they are the same.
Awesome book. 2nd only in my list of favourite King books to The Stand, actually.
Why the praise for this particular book? Because I just read that it will finally be getting released as a TV movie in the summer of 2008, and I for one, can't wait to see it.
Here's the link to the press release.
I wonder what my twinner would be like?
