Used to read Stephen King all the time and really liked the book (not the film though). Haven't read any King for a while but might try this.
Edit: Not to mention that the sequel to 'The Talisman' by King and Peter Straub called 'The Black House' was as good as the original - and 'The Talisman' is probably my favourite book that King has been involved in although I do like Peter Straub a lot so maybe that's why.
