I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I just now finally got around
to reading Black House and there seems to be contradictory information about
the death of Jack Sawyer's mother.
In Black House, it is stated that Lily died not so long before the events of
this book (certainly after Jack was grown) and that she died from a relapse
of the cancer she had in The Talisman.
In The Tommyknockers, although he is not actually mentioned by name, it is
assumed that the boy on the beach is Jack Sawyer, just a few years after the
events of The Talisman. He says that his mother has recently been killed by
a drunk driver.
Are we supposed to take it that it was not Jack after all in The
Tommyknockers, or is this simply a case of King having forgotten that he
wrote that bit?
