Black House – Stephen King & Peter Straub

There’s a serial killer at large in the small town of French Landing. The only clue is a similarity to a famous killer from a century ago. That is until Jack Sawyer, retired LAPD detective, is asked to get involved by the local Police Chief. Jack’s long buried memories of his time spent in the Territories as a child could hold the key to saving the latest victim but with much more riding on his success than the life of one child, can he put it all together in time?

The Talisman – Stephen King & Peter Straub

12 year old Jack is living a fairly quiet life at a seaside town with his terminally ill Mother, Lily. His Father is dead and he’s worried his Mum doesn’t have long. That is until he meets Speedy Parker and embarks on a journey through the parallel world of the Territories to find the Talisman, a mysterious object that is his Mum’s only hope of salvation.

The Twat Files – Dawn French

In “The Twat Files” Dawn French shares the many times she has made mistakes over the years and, in her words, been a “complete twat”. When she realises being perfect is impossible she decides to go for being a twat instead and encourages the reader to own up to their mistakes and realise that everyone makes them and it’s not that big of a deal.

“The Twat Files” is due to be published by Michael Joseph Books on 12 October 2023 and I was very privileged to receive an advanced copy in exchange for this honest review.
