Speaking of books: another Dark Tower! (SK)
The Wind Through the Keyhole is out April 24 (Amazon just sent me an email). it's not part of the series because that's done, but it goes back to a night during their journey and recounts a story Roland told his ka-tet that "sheds light on Roland's mysterious past". Yay!!

Re: Speaking of books: another Dark Tower! (SK)
I saw! I'm sofaking excited about this book it almost makes up for the discount bookstore only having the Dark Tower graphic novel I already have.
The Dark Tower is one of my all time favorite books, so I am excited about this, but its tinged with a certain anxiety. I dont doubt it will be good, but I always felt the best thing about the Dark Tower was the dynamic between Eddie, Roland, Susanna and Jake. And Oy, I suppose. I cant see so much of that in this book...although the stuff with Alain and Cuthbert was also awesome.
I guess I have very high hopes, so I am frantically squishing them to avoid any disappointment. But still....Huzzah! lol

I'm excited about this book!
I was super bummed when the Dark Tower movie got scrapped in pre-production last year. A few of my former student got jobs in the art department and I was hoping I could visit them.
The spin-offs from the main story never interested me that much. Also, can I tell you how pissed I was that The Black House was a DT story and NOT a true sequel to the Talisman?
The only side story that really piqued my interest was The Little Sisters of Eluria.

I think that was the seriel in Playboy?
Yeah, thats a good one. It was published in a "best of fantasy" type book a number of years back. I am fairly sure it has also appeared in one of SKs short story books.
As for Wizard and Glass, that was excellent. So I am hoping (and thinking) this book will be like that. And my guess is that it will focus on the Jericho Hill stuff that is talked about in the main books.

So awesome!
SPOILER POLL BELOW:
Who else cried when Oy died? Come on, be honest....

I cried so hard I was breathless sobbing.
Totally. I cried so badly when he let Jake fall I didn't think I'd read the next book. I wept like a baby at the end of the series when Roland got into the Tower and part of me wishes I hadn't read that last chapter like SK suggested. But I also used to have nightmares that Roland would die when I was in Book 2/3. I may be overly invested in the story line.

Red Dead Redemption. We TOTALLY thought John Marsten was either Roland or Clint Eastwood!
I absolutely get lost in sweeping, epic tales, to the point that I am noticeably different for a few days after I finish one, mulling it over and depressed that it is done. This has happened for me with LOST, Dark Tower, and Harry Potter. I chalk it up to my lack of actual imagination--I latch onto other writers' worlds.
