Show Notes

We’re on the road again with our Dark Tower journey, running through adjacent worlds, lighting out for the Territories.

 

Our latest side-quest takes us to The Talisman, the 1984 epic dark fantasy, co-authored by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It’s a wild, hallucinatory ride, that contains my favourite King character of them all!

 

Nat, Chris and I talk about that dude, as well as discussing where Jack Sawyer ranks in the league table of King’s childhood heroes. But mostly we try to pin down the connections between this mad story, and Roland’s great quest.

 

Do we succeed? Do we just make up all manner of wishful thinking nonsense? You decide.
