I'm gonna be knocking all these books out later this year. How are you enjoying the first one?

The first one is tough reading and sometimes little sense. The worldbuilding is starting. My next King is the Talisman who is getting a third novel later this year.

I've never read any King under that Straub pen name. Does he write in a different style under that name or do anything unique?

That Straub name is the author Peter Straub also known for Ghost Story. Together with King he wrote what we now know is a trilogy starting with the Takisman.

Ya for some reason I saw Straub and thought of King's pen name, Richard Bachman. I've never read any Straub so I'll check out the first Talisman book soon.

That being said have you read any King books under his pen name, Bachman? Does he employ a different style or anything unique when writing under that moniker?

The Bachman books I read a really long time ago, by then it was known who the name was behind Bachman. So I cannot honestly tell you that. But good luck with the reading
