In the long-awaited
sequel to The Talisman, retired homicide detective Jack
Sawyer is drawn back to a parallel universe called the
Territories, where he must find the soul-strength to enter a
terrifying house at the end of a deserted track of forest,
there to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered
within it.
Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer travelled to a
parallel universe called The Territories to save his mother
and her Territories "twinner" from a premature and agonizing
death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world.
Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living
in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, WI. He has no
recollection of his adventures in the Territories and was
compelled to leave the police force when an odd,
happenstance event threatened to awaken those memories.
When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin
that are reminiscent of those committed several decades
earlier by a real-life madman named Albert Fish, the killer
is dubbed "The Fisherman" and Jack's buddy, the local chief
of police, begs Jack to help his inexperienced force find
him. But is this merely the work of a disturbed individual,
or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in
this quiet town? What causes Jack's inexplicable waking
dreams, if that is what they are, of robins' eggs and red
feathers? It's almost as if someone is trying to tell him
something. As that message becomes increasingly impossible
to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his
own hidden past, where he may find the soul-strength to
enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted track of
forest, there to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils
sheltered within it. |
