I abandoned The Stand recently, which was too bad because the first section was brilliant. Then it got bogged down with travel and drama and I sort of lost interest. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

I couldn't 'stand' the audiobook, but I'm enjoying reading it so far (400 pages). I'll try and stick it out because I only started reading King to get better at character writing ✍️

Technically, "The Talisman" is a collaboration between King and the late Peter Straub (whose own fantasy and horror fiction is more precise and manageable, whereas King has trouble ending his novels...).

I'm looking forward to that one. I'm told the short stories Jerrusalem's Lot and One For the Road are set there as well. I really enjoyed the Jerrusalem's Lot adaptation called Chapelwait - that might scratch your Salems Lot itch
