Stephen King announces he is finishing The Dark Tower series

[Flammey]

Announced on his website on Monday, he annouced, using a virtual version of himself that he has finished the final three books in the series. "Wolves of the Cala" was to go on sale Tuesday of this week, which is two days ago. It is to be followed by "Song of Susannah" next summer. The final instalment "The Dark Tower" will be released next Novermber.

Good news for the fans of the Dark Tower series.

Awesome. I read the first one but I not a single damn book store i go to has the rest of the series.

[Flammey]

I have them all, so far.

[Nimbus]

I have all of them too...
However, this information was out months ago. His site had a page up about the Dark Tower being finished last spring. I first noticed it back in May.

What I find to be more intersting is how long it took him to write this series. Wizard and Glass was actually the first book he started writing back in college. Some of the other Dark Tower books took over 10 years to be written themselves.

Thats' him. He looks much worse since that pic

[ultraviolet]

I'm going to buy Wolves of Calla and make that my Christmas present to me.

[Nimbus]

Yeah, he's an aged geek. Kinda ugly. He hasn't looked quite as good since that van pwned him.

[JonusMeteoris]

I read the first 4 like 4 years ago. I'm re-reading the entire thing before I buy "wolves'". Honestly this is probably one of the best book series out there.

If you think THAT, try reading "The Wheel of Time" series, by Robert Jordan. Now THAT is a book series. It's up to 10 books, so far. And the furthur you go into the series, the better it gets.

But I digress from the thread. I only found out about his being done the series yesterday. It was in the paper.

[Derfud]

*cough*

So what if he's ugly? If you had to be Ugly to be Talented, then there would be ALOT of talented people on this earth. But that is not the case.

[TekDragon]

Agree with Flammey.

That man is so fuking talented. I'd have his baby if I could.

[edit]: j/k

[edit2]: really, j/k

Ahh, there is something about a good writer that just speaks out to his/her readers. King has always been one of those to me. My first book was Eye of the Dragon. That's a good background for the Dark Tower series, too.

I've always loved TS Eliot, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Mary Shelley.
I'm gaining an appreciation for Kate Chopin and John Keats.

Lit classes do wonders for appreciating a good authour (especially when you have a good professor).
