4/5 ⭐
I love both [b:The Talisman|59219|The Talisman (The Talisman, #1)|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1170530286l/59219._SX50_.jpg|3324421] and the Black House but in different ways and honestly, I liked the former just a little more.
Nevertheless, Black House is amazing. It's very classic King while adding some new layer to King's universe. I love how King and Straub related the story to King's metaverse and the Dark Tower. The Talisman/Black House are also very similar to [b:It|830502|It|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1334416842l/830502._SY75_.jpg|150259] in some aspects, with Jack having to go back to a place from his childhood after 20 years of oppressing the memories. Even the crime in Black House is similar to IT and I was partly convinced it was about IT or some creature of the same breed in the beginning.
And the ending was pretty fine in my opinion. Jack's story could end here but a part of me also wants to see more of him. So, I'd love a third book in the series but I could also be content with this ending.

Henry deserved better.
