🟊Weekend Vibes🟊

✧ The Read ✧

The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub
Before the Upside Down, there was the Territories. Now’s the perfect time to (re)discover The Talisman, the dark fantasy epic from Stephen King and Peter Straub—because the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) are turning it into their next Netflix obsession. The novel follows 12-year-old Jack Sawyer on a reality-jumping quest to save his dying mother and a mysterious Queen in a parallel world. With haunted hotels, wolf companions, and interdimensional dread, it’s a surreal coming-of-age adventure soaked in 80s weirdness—basically Stranger Things’ older, freakier cousin. Start reading now before it breaks the internet again. Check it out.
