Therell be water if God wills it, says Mid-Worlds last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and the expression might refer to the creative process itself, especially when it comes to The Dark Tower, the epic fantasy saga that stands as Stephen Kings most beguiling achievement. Beginning as a trickle in 1974, gaining force in the 1980s and gushing to a conclusion when the last three novels were published in 2003-2004, it has been a lively river since — the basis first for a long-running Marvel comic series and now for an ambitious confluence of movies and television under the direction of Ron Howard.And the wellspring has not run dry, for with THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE King has written a sparkling contribution to the saga. This Russian Doll of a novel, a story within a story within a story, visits Roland and his katet as a ferocious, frigid storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. (The novel can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V.) Roland tells a tale from his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following his mothers death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a skin-man, Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beasts most recent slaughter. 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 persons never too old for stories, he says to Bill. Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them. |

An epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon. King says he wanted to know what happened to Danny Torrance, the boy at the heart of The Shining, after his terrible experience in the Overlook Hotel. The instantly riveting Doctor Sleep picks up the story of the now middle-aged Dan, working at a hospice in rural New Hampshire, and the very special twelve-year old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals. On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless — mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the 'steam' that children with the 'shining' produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him and a job at a nursing home where his remnant 'shining' power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes 'Doctor Sleep.' Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival... |
