    I think the differing descriptions of Marten/Walter/Flagg as separate people or the same person are mostly continuity mistakes. I get the feeling King flip-flopped multiple times throughout writing...

    I didn't care much for Mordred, either. My main gripe with it is that King fell, like so many other storytellers, into the apparently ubiquitous cliche of an unnatural demonic pregnancy. Seriously,...

    Ah, yeah, I wouldn't argue with that. Especially since they mention how naturally Jake took to the Orizas and how Eddie brings up that he felt at home on horseback eerily fast, as if they'd all...

    Haha, the more I think about this, it's kind of a weird answer—but here it is. Before I read The Gunslinger, I'd only heard little bits and pieces of Dark Tower trivia. I knew it was some kind of...

    Yeah, I wondered about that! I get the feeling he did—at least when he was finishing up book three. By the time Wizard and Glass finally came out, I'm sure the story he wanted to tell had evolved...

    I think part of the reason I love Wolves of the Calla so much is the cover I have. Stupid and maybe kind of shallow, I know, but it's this one:

    When did Jake become a gunslinger?

    A pretty straightforward question, but it's something I can't really figure out. In Lud, Jake apparently made Tick-Tock the first person he ever shot. A month or two later, when the ka-tet arrives in...

    Overall I loved Wind Through the Keyhole, but I do agree that parts of it felt rushed. I liked that the book was the most compact story Dark Tower story since Drawing of the Three—I just wish the...

    I think it works in both places, either after finishing the main series or between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. I found it to be an unexpectedly good bridge between the two halves of the...
