A place where I share my values.

As a self-proclaimed constant reader who started his Stephen King journey with The Gunslinger I was immediately captivated and further shocked to see this was a collaboration by Stephen King and Peter Straub. This is book three in the Talisman trilogy (???)
It has just been released and today I just started listening to it.
