The Talisman Audiobook Overview
The Talisman Audiobook is a fantasy “extraordinary” (The Washington Post) collaboration between #1 bestselling author Stephen King and Peter Straub – an epic thriller about a young boy’s quest to save his mother’s life.
One of the most influential and heralded works of fantasy ever written, The Talisman is an extraordinary audiobook of loyalty, awakening, terror, and mystery.
Plot Summary
The plot is not related to that of Walter Scott’s 1825 novel of the same name, although there is one oblique reference to “a Sir Walter Scott novel.” King and Straub followed up with a sequel, Black House Audiobook (2001), that picks up with a now-adult Jack as a retired Los Angeles homicide detective trying to solve a series of murders in the small town of French Landing, Wisconsin.
In a terrifying trip across America, young Jack Sawyer is searching for the Talisman, the only thing that can save his dying mother. His quest takes him into the menacing Territories where violence, surprise, and the titanic struggle between good and evil reach across a mythic landscape.
The Talisman Audiobook Mp3 was nominated for both the Locus and World Fantasy Awards in 1985.
Review
My favorite audiobook of all time! To me, it is just the perfect epic hero’s journey story. I love that it takes place in the early 80s; I love the grittiness and ugliness of what happens to Jack as he travels back and forth between this world and The Territories, and I LOVE the character of Wolf.
Stephen King – The Talisman Audiobook Free is fraught with emotion – Jack is a very emotional child, who felt very real to me, and his quest to save his mother is so damn brave and admirable. It’s really something special to watch his growth and development as he travels across America.
The collaboration between King and Straub felt pretty seamless – I honestly just felt like I was reading a King book, I’ve yet to read any Straub so can’t really comment if it felt like Straub’s writing, but King was definitely stamped all over this one.

Hello, I want to thank you for providing us with the multitude of excellent material. I own, or have owned many of the books that you allow us the privilege of listening to, and I enjoy reliving them through audio books during my work commute.
I do however encounter an issue where a story will suddenly become unavailable due to an unknown error, or one in which the files get out of place. I’m wondering if you are aware of this issue or if I am simply doing something incorrectly. Thanks again!
Hi, can you send me an email with the screenshot, so I can easy to find which is the reason. Thank you for supporting us.
I certainly will when it happens again. It seems to be fixed for now. It had shown parts 01, 02, 03, then part 053… And part 053 which is where I had listened up to wasn’t working. Now all of the parts are up again and should work fine.
Thanks!
I’m listening to the file in the browser and it’s Huckleberry Finn… ???
