SK fans--new Dark Tower book in 2012

[G8rDMD]

Looks like we're going to have a new Dark Tower book in April :hurray::hurray::hurray:

We join Roland and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. As they shelter from the screaming wind and snapping trees, Roland tells them not just one strange tale, but two--and in doing so sheds fascinating 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 a ranch to investigate a recent slaughter. Here Roland discovers a bloody churn of bootprints, clawed animal tracks and terrible carnage--evidence that the 'skin-man',
a shape-shifter, is at work. There is only one surviving witness: a brave but terrified boy called Bill Streeter.

Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind Through The Keyhole.'
'A person's never too old for stories,' he says to Bill. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.'

I'm sure the book will be awesome, but that synopsis sounds lame. I mean, he spends a whole book with the characters essentially doing nothing, but sitting there listening to a couple campfire stories?

Yeah, the synopsis leaves a lot to be desired... But being a Dark Tower book I will be drawn to it like Joebuck to a drunken coed :dance:

:withstupid: Since the last book has Roland repeating the tale all over again, maybe this new one will have a conclusion.
He was also coming out with a new Salem's Lot too-Basically following Ben after he leaves Maine.

It's like Wizard and Glass, with double the stories!

I have a huge collection of his books that I had bought for my ex.

I might need to unload them. I used to be in the SK Library and they'd send me a book every month.

I was in that for awhile, too. I've got shelves full of King books, some of them first editions :seasix:

Hopefully it will be better than the last book of the dark tower series.

An epic tale-how DO you end it? A shrewd move by SK to make it a "Neverending story". The interest is there, the $$$$ are there, why not? I'm onboard. I'll D/L it as soon as it's available.

Except now Ron Howard is trying to make the friggin' movie/tv/movie/tv/movie adaptation of The Dark Tower, he is gonna need to know the ending sooner, rather than later...

So why can't Ronnie produce his own "Neverending Story"? Lucas did it with Star Wars.

Because the studio is already pitching kittens over the project which has been contracturally defined as three films bridged together with tv mini-series' between them, and he's getting ready to start on The Gunslinger now...

What killed it for me was him writing HIMSELF into the story. ALso the story started getting a bit confusing and "jumpy" towards the end.

Don't forget he is also doing a new "The Stand" Movie, SUPPOSEDLY it will be on premium cable so we can actually see the movie as written.
