Connection To The Dark Tower
When first released, King and Straub did not intend a connection between The Talisman and Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. However, the book's sequel Black House presents a soft-retcon that the Territories are a parallel to All-World. This is most clear by King's introduction to The Little Sisters of Eluria where he states the pavilion where Jack Sawyer meets Sophie is the same one in The Little Sisters.
