Hi folks...I'm reading Book III as we speak...I know that there is a King multiverse and a lot of his other books have links via characters to the DT series...I've seen a lot of lists about what order to read ALL of his books with a DT connection, but none have mentioned "The Talisman"...my question is this; When in my read through should I read "The Talsiman"?
