The journey of The Talisman ends here.

Read the exclusive first excerpt from "Other Worlds Than These," the end of the trilogy @stephenking.bsky.social & Peter Straub began decades ago.

King talks about finishing it after Straub's death, using notes and ideas from his old friend.

Unicorn blood can make its' drinker immortal. The main issue is *getting* that blood without falling prey to these carniverous, fleet-footed, super-intelligent horned predators...
three majestic model unicorns, outstanding in their field. one stands looking off to the side, one rears its' horned head, one one grazes peacefully to clean its teeth of recently consumed flesh and bone.

I've been working on Beowulf's cloak tonight, trying to give it a rough wool texture. And to my friend who said don't paint him rainbow... The tiny details of the trim add the last two colours I needed. 😂🌈

APPARENTLY it costs the NHS over £300,000 a year to remove foreign objects from people's rectums. Why aren't we removing British objects instead? Was Brexit all for nothing? Gerry Paton, London

You can save media posts in drafts. Just in case you have a clip of Juliette Lewis joyfully saying “he’s dead! He’s dead!” and don’t want to waste time looking for it later, or something

that'd leave a mark
black and white photo - iron helmet pierced by three crossbow bolts. illustration of the helmet as worn by its owner, showing position of the bolts piercing from the top and rear and exiting through eyes, nose and mouth. This helmet (servillier) of the 1 5th century, with three holes from crossbow bolts. was found in a fortified breach of the inner wall of the Italian city of Padua. The nature of the holes shows us the tragic fate of the defender of a medieval fortress. The helmet was manufactured in Milan's arms workshop Missaglia (Missaqlia) which is what the brand says. The helmet is pierced with three crossbow bolts. All trassological characteristics indicate that trace-forming obiects are crossbow bolts. Direction of flight of bolts - front and bottom. Most likely, by the helmet, that is by its owner, the defender of the fortress standing on the wall, the attackers fired from the crossbars below. Originally, there were no bolts in the helmet. During the restoration of the helmets, they were placed on display by a celebrated gunman and curator (curator of weapons and armour at the Bashford Dean Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A view into the chamber of La Table des Merchands at Locmariaquer in Brittany. Taken on a visit two years ago. #TombTuesday
A narrow chamber created by several orthostats with capstones laying above, leads to a chamber which has been lit. The carved detail in one of the chamber's orthostats is just about visible.

A cold toned base of blues and greens to contrast the warm tones of the model.

There will be some proper pictures at some point.
