I bought the actual CDs for this as the digital version sounds muffled and seems to have a pitch issue and sounds like he is dragging, like they slowed the tempo. The cassettes also didnt work for the same reason and 1 cracked in transit 🙁

The CDs seem to have good pitch so I just denosied each track and reduces some low end muffling. Now it sounds like Frank in his fast paced Stephen King days (except The Green Mile which he did slow and ominously) and legal thriller days as it should, like with John Grisham’s Runaway Jury and The Brethren (not The Partner as he read that with the same slow ominous tone as The Green Mile).

The iconic, “extraordinary” (The Washington Post) collaboration between #1 bestselling author Stephen King and Peter Straub—an epic thriller about a young boy’s quest to save his mother’s life.

Why had twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer’s mother frantically moved the two of them from Rodeo Drive to a New York City apartment to the Alhambra, a fading ocean resort and shuttered amusement park in New Hampshire? Who or what is she running from? She is dying . . . and even young Jack knows she can’t outrun death. But only he can save her—for he has been chosen to search for a prize across an epic landscape of dangers and lies, a realm of innocents and monsters, where everything Jack loves is on the line.

The Talisman is a 1984 fantasy novel by American writers Stephen King and Peter Straub. The plot is not related to that of Walter Scott’s 1825 novel of the same name, although there is one oblique reference to “a Sir Walter Scott novel.” The Talisman was nominated for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards in 1985
