Stephen King returns to the
rich landscape of Mid-World, the spectacular territory of the Dark Tower
fantasy saga that stands as his most beguiling achievement.
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet—Jake, Susannah, Eddie, and Oy,
the billy-bumbler—encounter a ferocious storm just after crossing the
River Whye on their way to the Outer Baronies. As they shelter from the
howling gale, Roland tells his friends not just one strange story but
two . . . and in so doing, casts new light on his own troubled past.
In his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following
his mother’s death, Roland is sent by his father to investigate
evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a “skin-man” preying upon the
population around Debaria. Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, the
brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast’s
most recent slaughter. Only a teenager himself, Roland calms the boy
and prepares him for the following day’s trials by reciting a story from
the Magic Tales of the Eld that his mother often read to him at
bedtime. “A person’s never too old for stories,” Roland says to Bill.
“Man and boy, girl and woman, never too old. We live for them.” And
indeed, the tale that Roland unfolds, the legend of Tim Stoutheart, is a
timeless treasure for all ages, a story that lives for us.
King began the Dark Tower series in 1974; it gained momentum in the
1980s; and he brought it to a thrilling conclusion when the last three
novels were published in 2003 and 2004. The Wind Through the Keyhole is
sure to fascinate avid fans of the Dark Tower epic. But this novel also
stands on its own for all readers, an enchanting and haunting journey
to Roland’s world and testimony to the power of Stephen King’s
storytelling magic.

The next-to-last novel in Stephen King’s seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah
is at once a book of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding
mystery of the Dark Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled
suspense.
To give birth to her “chap,” demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of
Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to New
York City in the summer of 1999. The city is strange to Susannah…and
terrifying to the “daughter of none,” who shares her body and mind.
Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah but also on
securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses it to the
Sombra Corporation. Enlisting the aid of Manni senders, the remaining
katet climbs to the Doorway Cave…and discovers that magic has its own
mind. It falls to the boy, the billy-bumbler, and the fallen priest to
find Susannah-Mia, who, in a struggle to cope with each other and
with an alien environment “go todash” to Castle Discordia on the border
of End-World. In that forsaken place, Mia reveals her origins, her
purpose, and her fierce desire to mother whatever creature the two of
them have carried to term.
Eddie and Roland, meanwhile, tumble into western Maine in the summer
of 1977, a world that should be idyllic but isn’t. For one thing, it is
real, and the bullets are flying.
These are the simple vectors of a story rich in complexity and
conflict. Its dual climaxes, one at the entrance to a deadly dining
establishment and the other appended to the pages of a writer’s journal,
will leave readers gasping for the saga’s final volume (which, Dear
Reader, follows soon, say thank ya).

“The
Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed.” This
is our introduction to Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger, published
by Donald M. Grant in THE DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER in 1982. Twenty
years later Stephen King revised and expanded this volume. In his own
words: “What I did want to do was to give newcomers to the tale of the
Tower (and old readers who want to refresh their memories) a clearer
start and a slightly easier entry into Roland’s world. I also wanted
them to have a volume that more effectively foreshadowed coming events.
This volume contains that expanded version as well as the novella THE
LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA which chronicles an earlier adventure of
Roland’s as he persued the Man in Black.

In
a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women
go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are
awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated,
the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep
they go to another place. The men of our world are abandoned, left to
their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious
Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is
Evie a medical anomaly to be studied, or is she a demon who must be
slain?
