Honestly, this is really the start of the series for me since it creates a true mythology and introduces the time hopping element that would become so crucial to the rest of the series. In this book, Roland finds multiple doors to New York into different time periods, and he goes on little adventures through each door. We meet Eddie Dean and Susannah, Roland gets his fingers bitten off by a “lobstrosity” and the stakes never let up. It’s also my favorite Stephen King novel of all time. Not only is The Drawing of the Three my favorite Dark Tower novel. The Drawing of the Three (Dark Tower Book #2) Have you ever heard of peak Nic Cage? Well, this is peak Stephen King, and by God. Because this is by far the craziest book in the series, and for that reason, I adore it. And Stephen King also throws himself in the story for good measure, because why not?īut while a lot of fans can’t stand how crazy this story got, it actually intrigued me all the more for how audacious it all was.

I remember reading this book on a plane and rubbing my head wondering if I was reading all of this correctly. Oh, and they also battle with lightsabers and the snitches from Harry Potter. And not just any robots, but robots that look like Dr. And then Roland and his Ka-tet fight the Wolves, but they’re not really wolves at all. In a nutshell, The Ka-tet are being followed, and they find out that it’s by this group that call themselves Wolves. I mean, I don’t even know how to explain the plot. Okay, so this is usually the book where a lot of readers just totally give up on the series, and I get it.

Stephen King is the author of more than 50 novels, many of them works of horror and all of them worldwide best sellers. Like his predecessor, Guidall masterfully voices the intrigue, adventure, and danger of The Dark Tower. George Guidall, a prolific Audie Award-winning narrator, took over the series after Muller’s death. Frank Muller, an acclaimed master of narration and Audie Award winner, was hand-picked by King to read his books, and here he pulls out all the stops. Two masters of narration, personally chosen by Stephen King, command this epic series. In seven volumes written over a 30-year span, The Dark Tower follows Roland on his quest through parallel worlds and into the unimaginable, encountering unexpected allies and evil forces along the way. Roland sets out in search of the Dark Tower, the nexus of the universe, which, he believes, holds the key to the world’s unsettling state. Roland of Gilead is the last gunslinger to walk the earth before the world “moved on” to raging wars, vanishing cities, and oddly flowing time. Stephen King’s magnum opus, The Dark Tower masterfully mixes horror, fantasy, and the Wild West!
