8th Dark Tower Novel - The Wind Through the Keyhole

[jhanic]

My gut feeling is that he had the storyline for Wind Through the Keyhole in mind before he asked the question. I voted for Dr. Sleep also, but I'm happy with Wind.

I have to admit that I, for one, was rather surprised that Danny Torrance did not put in an appearance in TDT. I have always wondered what his furthering story may have been more than almost any other "King" character. Someone who "Shines" like Danny must have had many very interesting further adventures. Also, Charlie from "Firestarter" pretty much fits that description as well.

I was one of the people who voted for Doctor Sleep. While I'm still excited for more Dark Tower, it's only an 'interquel', so we already know that nothing truly important will happen in it (and if it does, it could seriously stretch believability on re-reads of books V through VII). Doctor Sleep sounded much more intriguing, as we have no idea where the story might go. My introduction to Stephen King was Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining, which I saw when I was about eight years old. It's the only film I've ever found truly disturbing. Danny Torrance is a character with whom I've been familiar since my childhood, so I think I'd genuinely care about his fate when reading Doctor Sleep – probably more so than any of King's other protagonists (with the possible exception of some Dark Tower characters). And if the book is a success, a film could be on the horizon, and most people would perceive it as a sequel to the Kubrick film. However it turned out, it would be fascinating to watch.

um, I work for the publisher....

Maybe a stupid question.......but when you got to read it are you reading an ARC, or on a computer (digital copy)? Just curious.

Will this book be released at your major retailers such as Books-a-Million, Barnes and Noble, etc?

As far as Danny in TDT goes, after finishing the series the Hotel's obession with Danny was evocative of the Crimson King's hunt for the psychics throughout the multiverse.

I also thought Danny Torrance would pop up somewhere in the DT novels...the mysterious Manager of the Overlook Hotel wanting Danny's powers really reminded me of The Crimson King.

I know, right? Also, I was surprised Tyler Marshall (Black House) did not appear as well!!!!!!!!

I think that DOTT (Drawing of the Three) is the best Dark Tower novel. I never really liked Wizard and Glass, especially since the dark tower comics came out. I think the story is told so much better when it is told in "The Gunslinger Born" comic.

WOTC is actually my second favorite. I think that it was exciting and it had the best gunslinger battle in it.

I started reading the series just before the comics came out. It just happened that Right as I was starting WaG the comics came out. I made the mistake of reading the comics while reading the book. So Reading the book version felt like reading a book for a high school report. I think if I had waited to read the comics I would of enjoyed the book more.

Tito..... I think that's a yes !!

Karen, You are a golden goddess.
I hope you are doing well, BTW, Happy belated Birthday (I wasn't sure which birthday thread was yours)

Thanks for the birthday wish!!!

And yes, I have read it. And a re-read is not necessary. It's pretty much a stand alone. Still lovely in it's own right!

I wonder if there will be the large paperback versions? I own 1-7 of the large paperback versions that have the drawings.

According to Amazon, the book's title is The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel. Dunno about the sound of that, makes it sound cheap somehow. I hope it'll still be The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole

[you ever seen a ghost?]

Scribner's site lists it as The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel.

i feel almost positive that this is what the title will be, being as how it doesn't fit neatly into the series.

And I agree with Justin--it just doesn't fit nicely into the Dark Tower series as such.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

It might not even mention The Dark Tower. I think it will just be called, "The Wind Through the Keyhole", with a sub heading.

John, that's the same link as mine, only way longer (unnecessarily so)

[jhanic]

Pablo, your link didn't work for me. That's why I posted the other version.

I emailed the publicist who handles King's books to see what she had to say... will let you know if I hear something!

Really guys? I mean no disrespect, but not only is it a New King Novel, but also a DT Novel!!!!! Does it really matter that much?

[Jimimck]

Good call Bill. Can't go wrong with a new DT novel.
