dailyloe.com – Patton Oswalt will narrate the audiobook for Stephen King’s upcoming novel ‘Other Worlds Than These.’ The book is the final installment of King’s ‘The Talisman’ trilogy, which he co-wrote with the late author Peter Straub. The audiobook is set for release this fall from the publisher Scribner. This exclusive news was reported by People.com.
The novel reconnects readers with the beloved protagonist Jack Sawyer. Jack is now older and faces a new challenge. He must stop the world’s destruction from infected teenagers from America-side. He must also confront the infamous forces of the Gullet at the edge of Mid-World.
The ‘Talisman’ trilogy began with the 1984 novel ‘The Talisman.’ It continued with the 2001 sequel ‘Black House.’ ‘Other Worlds Than These’ concludes this dark fantasy series. The book’s synopsis outlines Jack Sawyer’s critical mission.
Patton Oswalt is a 57-year-old comedian and actor. He is also the author of books including his 2015 memoir ‘Silver Screen Fiend.’ Oswalt expressed his excitement about the narration project. He is a longtime fan of Stephen King’s work.
“I’ve been a Stephen King fan since I was 10,” Oswalt said. “His books were a huge part of how I fell in love with storytelling in the first place so having the opportunity to narrate Other Worlds Than These feels a little unreal.” He described the role as a significant honor.
“Being able to step into the Dark Tower universe and bring the final chapter of the Talisman trilogy to life is an absolute honor,” Oswalt stated. Stephen King also commented on Oswalt’s involvement. King said having Oswalt on board is a “wonderful” feeling.
King suggested the actor may connect with one of the book’s characters. The announcement was made on April 16, 2026. The information was provided by Carly Tagen-Dye, the Books editorial assistant at PEOPLE.[]
