8th Dark Tower Novel - The Wind Through the Keyhole

[Erin]

I liked McKean's work, Jean. I liked it waaaaay better than the art in DT2.

Hi all.

This is my first post but have been visiting this site for ages!

I am a huge dark tower fan, but that's for another day.

I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts what book 4.5 will contain.....

How did Jake end up with that chicken in his backpack.

Welcome to the site. We already have a thread about TWTTK so I merged your thread with it.

Well here goes my thought...

SK has stated that TWTTKH takes place right after they leave the Emerald Palace and that hey end up having walked a fair way with mud on their feet and food in their packs.

Now recall how DT7 ends with Roland

Spoiler:

going back to the desert and forgetting everything that had happened

well I believe in TWTTKH our heroes will follow a path where they maybe discover the nature of the tower or something along those lines and end up having to save their own lives by

Spoiler:

going back to the Emerald Palace,having their minds wiped and starting again but with provisions and a sense of deja vu

Either way I cant wait

Bring it on!

Super excited for another Roland adventure and I don't care when it takes place. Nor do I care if it isn't about the "mythology" of the series.

[Erin]

Monte! *waves*

Nice seeing you back here!

[Jean]

wow, Monte!

maybe the W is for Walter? Does anyone know if W is the 19th letter of the Chaldean alphabet or something?

Sigh.

I like his comic's work (and he really is a talented artist, don't get me wrong) but I'm not sure his style fits the novels. On the other hand maybe he has more than one style.

Okay, we'll see.

not to kill the fanboy atmosphere, but sometimes one is better off leaving something well enough alone, as any fan of any horror movie series could well attest. prequels, midquels, and long-overdue sequels tend to fail miserably, for a wide variety of reasons, not the least of which is the author attempting to convince the audience that they want a story that they in fact do NOT want (and often implicitly imply) just to line their own pockets/reputations. i, for one, think TDT should've been left the hell alone

Spoiler:

after ol' Long Tall 'n' Ugly got whisked through the door back to the (for us, anyway) beginning.

there's only so much relevant story one can relate without at the very least exploring a hitherto uncharted arc, which is in and of itself a messy, tedious affair. such instances leave me grasping at the possibility that tales such as The Monkey's Paw are as much a literary warning tool as morality tale.

According to Lilja, Hodder & Stoughton is also issuing an edition of The Wind Through the Keyhole:

"There was a storm, I decided. One of sudden and vicious intensity. The kind to which billy-bumblers like Oy are particularly susceptible. Little by little, a story began to take shape," he said. "I saw a line of riders, one of them Roland's old mate, Jamie DeCurry, emerging from clouds of alkali dust thrown by a high wind. I saw a severed head on a fencepost. I saw a swamp full of dangers and terrors. I saw just enough to want to see the rest. Long story short, I went back to visit an-tet with my friends for a while. The result is a novel called The Wind Through the Keyhole ... Call this one DT-4.5. It's not going to change anybody's life, but God, I had fun."

Thanks for posting the link! Very interesting.

I am very excited to read this one! Wonder if I should do a re-read before then?

I refuse to re-read WAG.

What is wrong with WAG? It may be my favorite of the series.

It definitely is mine.
And - I've never seen a DT poll yet where WAG didn't come out as the #1 book of the series.

It's not only my least favorite DT book, but, if I'm remembering correctly, it's the only one I didn't like.
