View Full Version : Is the DT saga really over?



Letti

Would you like the series to be longer? More books or something?
I am sure we all love it a lot but I guess there are some who think it's good as it is.
We will see.

Jean
08-29-2007, 10:38 PM
can you make it a poll, love?

I wouldn't like it to be any longer - it's perfect as it is, structure, composition and all - but I would like to see some additional stories, not directly included in the series (like Sisters)

Letti
08-29-2007, 10:56 PM
There is a poll here, Jean. I have done it.
Can you not see it?

Jean
08-29-2007, 10:58 PM
I can now. I am not sure these two options are exhaustive. Maybe someone wouldn't like it to be longer because it's already awfully long and boring...

Letti
08-29-2007, 11:03 PM
You are right... I gave another option, too.

So lets say that King decided to write Roland: The End.

You guys wouldn't be interested?

Wuducynn
08-30-2007, 07:54 AM
Who ever said I wouldn't be interested? The question for the poll is "Would you like the series to be longer?" right? ;)

Matt
08-30-2007, 07:56 AM
Not me, it was a question Matthew. :lol:

The idea is that the story is complete. If SK wrote a book called The Dark Tower VIII--Rolands final loop.

I would be cool with that.

Wuducynn
08-30-2007, 08:21 AM
I feel the series is perfect as is and doesn't need extra books. I would love more connected books that add little tantelizing bits and new knowledge of the Dark Tower books, like the end stories of the comic books are. But if King all of a sudden came up with new Dark Tower books? HELL YEAH.

Matt
08-30-2007, 08:24 AM
Well there you go.

well i seriously doubt it would ever happen. when stephen kings basically says this is it, don't complain to me and fuck off then i think he means it.

:lol:

Matt
08-30-2007, 08:39 AM
:rofl:

I totally agree. The chances that we will have anymore on that particular story line are slim to none.

Hannah

You read my mind amigo. In fact, I will never stop hoping that someday King will actually get to writing this.

08-31-2007, 07:58 AM
As it stands, to me, it's of a fine length and the comics keep adding extra parts right now. But the series proper in book format does not need to be longer, excluding further future revisions.

flair
10-02-2007, 09:40 PM
I would never fully leave The Dark Tower world if I didn't have to. That is, if he kept it interesting and wanted to keep going, I would keep buying them up and reading greedily. I never really cared to reach the tower personally, I had much more fun on the journey to it.

10-02-2007, 10:02 PM
even though i think the series is perfect as it is theres no way i wouldnt want more stories involving the ka-tet ;)

Storyslinger
10-03-2007, 07:16 AM
YES Zone, i'd want more ka-tet, do you mean the first or second or both?

Jean
10-03-2007, 07:40 AM
it's a good question, yes: what do you mean when you say the ka-tet? I always mean the second one.

Letti
10-04-2007, 12:28 AM

I guess most of us do.

Jean
10-04-2007, 12:52 AM
I kinda took it for granted until I saw (at .net) that for many people the "real" ka-tet is the first one.

Matt
10-04-2007, 11:48 AM
I always considered the second "the" katet.

But really, I believe in the end, they were basically the same.

Jean
10-04-2007, 11:33 PM
I always considered the second "the" katet.

But really, I believe in the end, they were basically the same.
yes; it ultimately depends on whether or not someone believes in Ka, and it being a wheel. For me the two ka-tets are absolutely different, and Eddie is not Cuthbert re-incarnate or even Cuthbert's Twinner, etc.

Oops - that's for another thread. Sorry.

MonteGss
10-05-2007, 03:35 AM
Yes, I think we could have an entire thread arguing whether or not that is true Jean. :)

Matt
10-05-2007, 08:32 AM
Great idea for one, that's for sure.

I create about 20 a day in the catalog so I will leave that up to someone else.

Not which one you liked but weather or not they were essentially the same.

it to be like the matrix sequils do you

Harrald
10-13-2007, 06:07 PM
I think I could go for another book. Not a continuation but a deeper look into Rolands world. Either him as a child or a closer look at one of the places he (and his Ka-Tet) passed through.

cozener
11-16-2007, 06:38 PM
I'd love to have more about Roland's adventures after Jericho Hill and before the Mohaine Desert. I suppose that would fall into the "prequel" catagory.

I also wouldn't mind if King wrote another Dark Tower about the next cycle but it would be more interesting to me if the ka-tet changed, having Roland draw some more characters from King's other books. I always thought that Dayna Jurgens from the Stand would have made a great member of the ka-tet...definately a gunslinger if there ever was one. Maybe draw Danny Torrance from The Shining to take on the "Jake" part of the ka-tet or even Halloran...the "shine" and the "touch" being similar if not the same things.

Yeah, it would be a bit of a climb-down for him at this point to publish The Dark Tower VIII: Roland's Revenge.

there's something both appealing and repelling for me about this idea... the former, because sure it would be great to see all those people again, and you're right, they would perfectly fit into the context... but on the other hand, it would somehow subtract from the existence they already have, would somehow diminish what they already are, as if their life (and, in case of some, death) was something that needed some other, external, completion.

Kyonn
11-17-2007, 11:00 PM
I would love that if, say, 10 or 15 years from now King told the story of Roland's last go 'round through the loop and how he finds salvation. Unfortunately I don't think Sai King will ever tell that tale

TerribleT
11-19-2007, 11:01 AM
I don't know about longer, but I'd definitely love to see some of the tangents filled out. I'd love to know a lot more about Alain, Cuthbert, and a lot of other characters.

_Sphynx_
11-26-2007, 12:51 PM
Eh... I'm kinda torn on this. On the one hand, I can't get enough of this series, and like someone mentioned before me, I'd love to know more about Jericho Hill and the like. But on the other hand, I've seen far to many series' just keep going and getting worse. Sometimes they have to end before you want them to, so they stay good.

Matt
11-26-2007, 01:19 PM
That's very true, I guess I wouldn't mind another story but I think this Roland, this katet, should be pretty much over

Storyslinger
11-27-2007, 07:02 AM
I agree, I don't want to meet with the current ka-tet any more. I want some tie-ins and lots of back story

I don't know that King is "done" with DT in a permanent way. I think if he hears the song again, we may get something else like Little Sisters, that deals with Roland, or his world, or his backstory, or something.

Storyslinger
01-29-2008, 08:14 AM
I hope there are more, smaller story additions to come.

I absolutely see this happening. In fact, I see King creating new connector stories more than additional stories. Does that make sense? Not so much another Little Sisters but maybe more novels with good DT connections like Desperation/Regulators or It, etc.

ATG
01-29-2008, 08:41 AM
He referred to the DT as a first draft, implying that he intended to revise them all same as The Gunslinger.

My contention is that there are other connections to the DT not listed here on this website.
Liseys Story, I believe is connected to the DT, or he wasn't over it when he wrote it and it slipped in. Booya Moon.

Yes, definitely other connector stories but ones with close Dark Tower connections, the ones you listed weren't that close. I'm talking about like Black House and your favorite non-DT book, Insomnia.

MonteGss
01-29-2008, 08:50 AM

obscurejude
01-29-2008, 09:22 AM
I hope there might be some more DT stories but I get the feeling that he is done with it. To my knowledge, he hasn't done any revisions past the gunslinger. The rushed feeling to the final installments lead me to believe that he is glad they are done if for no other reason than they have ceased to loom over his head. I mean really, what comes after the final novel of your magnum opus? I'm sure King appreciates the comics because they give DT junkies a fix and he doesn't have to be considerably involved.

As for the Jack story. I sincerely hope so, but does anyone even know if him and Straub have even talked about it or began any of the writing process?

Darkthoughts

My contention is that there are other connections to the DT not listed here on this website.

The books listed in the Tower Connections section were put up there by Matt, possibly because they're the deliberate or most obvious connectors.
Alot of books however allude to DT, I'm seeing some evidence of that in Duma Key - and I also had a feel of the Tower in Lisey's Story.

As I reread King's works I'll be sure to add any missing connectors. For the more tenuous links I'm thinking I could amalgamate the books that fall into that category into a "Touched by the Tower" section or something :)

That is correct, it was a basic thing established on time honored "known" connections. The fact that it is growing in to more than that gives me a huge fuzzy. :wub:

I love the "touched by the Tower" idea, I bet in one way or another, we could put all of Kings books under there.

I've heard that this is a somewhat of a prequel to the series so I figured it would be pretty easy to find. I looked and looked and never found it. Is this hard to find?

Also, other than this story what are the main novels that deal alot with the series? I've read The Stand and most of It. I know most of his books have little things regarding TDT but what are the main books other than the two I just mentioned above. I'd love to find out so I can read them.

blackrose22
02-04-2008, 03:28 AM
I voted no as I think the seven books are as good as you can get. And I don't think I could stand the wait for another book in the series. Would love it if King wrote some short stories along the lines of the Sisters involving some of the characters like Jonas after he was sent west and travelled between worlds. That's a story I would love to read.

02-04-2008, 04:35 AM
Hard to say. Since so many of his books and stories are tied to it. In my own personal opinion, I hope he keeps it alive and well.

Definitely read Black House and Insomnia. Read Eyes Of The Dragon if you'd like a bit more of Flagg and 'Salem's Lot for more of Callahan's backstory.

Little Sisters of Eluria is in The anthology Legends and will be in an upcoming Grant limited.

Given how long the books ended up being, I'd say that seven books is enough. I'm sure there are critics who'd say that the series could be shortened by a book.

Mark
04-14-2008, 10:06 AM
I'd like it to be longer, i'd like More Eddie, Sussanah, Jake and Oy stories, rather than Cuthbert, Alain and Jamie de Curry. I'd also like a DTVIII about Roland's final loop, but i'm sure a lot of people out there would hate it, if the ending shouwed what was at the top of the tower. I'd really love to find out, but i'm naturally curious and hate "Loose ends".

I voted no, but only because I do not believe Stephen will write more novels pertaining to the DT. I DO THINK he will revise some or all of the other books and think it likely that he writes some of the backstory. Now we will learn (and are learning at present) some of the backstory in Wizard & Glass with the Long Road Home comic arc and we have been told the story of Jerricho Hill will be told thru the comics. I think this will inspire King to write a more complete story in his own words regarding these events/topics because Marvel won't get it "just right."

More back stories would be great. Can't see him writing another DT novel.

I didn't realize there were other works directly linked to DT. I have just started book five. Should I have already read Little Sisters of Eluria? I already read Everything Eventual but it was some time ago and many books ago and definitely way before I started DT or even knew of Roland. (OMG! was there really life before DT?)
What books should I have already read (Besides the obvious 1,2,3 and 4) prior to starting WC? I know some books are thought to be "related" to DT like Lisley and others but what books would you consider imperative reading at this point?

All things ( and books) serve the beam! I say read all of SK's books and
you'll find connections big & small abound in them all.
Books imperative:

The Talisman & Black House
Insomnia
Little Sisters
Eyes of the Dragon
IT

Oh bother, just start again....read them all! :D

Litte Sisters is a self contained story really, set before The Gunslinger. I'd recommend you grab it, but don't worry, it shouldn't spoil any of the main series for you.

As others have said, Black house is a good idea, but again it won't spoil much since we learn some interesting stuff concerning a particular adversary, but that which we do learn isn't all that relevant to the last books in the end.

If you didn't read Salem's Lot before Wolves, you might want to do so though as there are certainly spoilers for that book in Wolves.

I'd agree that it's not "necessary" to read Black House first, though it does shed a lot of light on the CK as he is in DT-7.

His weakened state in DT-7 is explained by the destruction of his Forge in Black House.

yes when cuthbert lost his v-card, thats important
although I remember when I read DT4 and he had a rather adolescent response (Ie jealousy) to rolands physical relationships ( i believe he threw a tantrum and howled "Why is he first with everything!!!")
although when he died he was a gunslinger so I would assume he had gone down to the whorehouses the way roland did when he was younger, so yeah

No way. I can't imagine that! He was so different from Roland. I know that in that world it wasn't a thing to be shamed of but still. It wasn't Cuthbert's cup of tea.
I hope and I think he found some girl he could love more or less.
Anyway we are getting a little bit off topic maybe we should open a thread with the title "Cuthbert's V-card: guesses" or something like this. :)

I've always been curious about Steven Deschain and his father, (Insert name here) The Tall, I cant remember his name off hand but I think a book or short story about them would be neat. but overall I think the actualy novels are done, but that doesnt mean I still wouldn't gobble an eigth novel about Roland's final loop down though :D

By the way, I like your new avatar Letti :P

The title of the thread and the OP are very different questions.

I voted yes, the series is done. I don't think King will write book VIII.

Would I like there to be more? Of course. When I finished TDT, I couldn't imagine reading about anything else. I had become so engrossed in the story of the Ka-tet and I was deeply saddened to know it was over. But the way it ended made sense to me. I understood WHY it was over.

I would definitely love more books, more about Rolands youth and what happened between WAG and Jericho hill. . I know there's the DT comics but it's not the same.

I voted yes, mostly for wishful thinking. Probably won't happen though. I wouldn't mind revisions of all the books though, it would be a good way to do little work and make a huge buck.

I think there will be no more books directly associated with Roland and the Tet. But I'm sure till King dies. he will be adding many more references in other books, like Hearts In Atlantis and From a Buick 8, etc.... which to me is good enough. cuz i think the 7 books make a nice, well wheel.

The DT saga is complete, I dont think that it could be advanced, since it has started over.

That said, I think that more DT works could be published in a LotR fashion. Not advancing the story, but telling some of the side tails, and filling in some of the gaps.

But as far as a book that starts where 7 left off, well Id say thats pretty unlikely, for good reason.

He's been saying that for awhile. But him actually doing it, as in re-writing the series, along with writing a whole new Dark Tower novel is the big news. BIG, BIG news! :onfire:

Something new from Ms. Mod on the SK Message Board - "Steve had told me over a year ago that he had an idea for a new Dark Tower story. He has been working on many different projects since then. I have not seen a finished Dark Tower manuscript among them but I also didn't see the poems that have recently become available."

This is the real deal folks. The Dark Tower Series is NOT over. :onfire: :harrier:

Also, sir, where are these poems she speaks of! If you would be so kind to direct us faithful followers (or just me if I really am the last to be in the loop about this) to where this stuff could be found! Thanks dude.
