"Magnificent, riveting, full of heart, and humor, Other Worlds Than These is a spectacular, propulsive adventure.” —USA TODAY

Other Worlds Than These is a magnificent stand-alone novel from Stephen King and Peter Straub that will appeal to new readers and to Constant Readers alike. For those who already know King’s many worlds, it is an epic and unforgettable finale to the Talisman Trilogy (including the novels Talisman and Black House) and a wrapping up of his iconic, fiercely beloved Dark Tower series.

Other Worlds Than These is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was twelve, crossing America and “the territories” to save his mother’s life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King (among other evils). In Other Worlds Than These, Jack must stop a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side, and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of Mid-World, before it destroys our world and all worlds. Jack is older now; his Ka-tet (echoing the world of Roland) is fraying; and his task, nearly impossible.

Magnificent, riveting, full of heart and humor, Other Worlds Than These is a spectacular, propulsive adventure that features thirty-six exclusive black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez. The title instantly announces to readers who already know these other worlds that King has returned to them. Other Worlds Than These will appeal to new King readers and his Constant Readers.
