Other Worlds Than These Audiobook— narrated by Stephen King and Patton Oswalt
Other Worlds Than These by Stephen King and Peter Straub closes the Talisman Trilogy and ties it to the Dark Tower's Mid-World. Jack Sawyer, older now, faces a gang of infected teenagers and the Gullet in a fast, emotional dark fantasy with a horror pulse.
Why the audiobook wins
Stephen King, who co-wrote the book with Peter Straub, shares the narration with Patton Oswalt. It opens modestly, the way King lowers a reader's guard, then bends into stranger country, with a gang of infected teenagers on one side and the Gullet at the edge of Mid-World on the other.
At nearly 23 hours, it is a very long listen, though the pacing is quick enough that it goes by like a long weekend. It finishes the Talisman Trilogy and ties into the Dark Tower, so fans of both series will get the most. The ending is brisk with a few loose threads.
Dark fantasy with a horror engine, some tears, and some humor. One Audible credit covers the whole book.
