Is the DT saga really over?

[MonteGss]

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.

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.

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]

Oh, I can see that happening too CK...afterall, we are getting another Jack book someday, I hope. I'm not sure I could take another Insomnia type though.

comics!

There will be more for a long time, I think.

[MonteGss]

Jeez, please don't state the obvious answer maerlyn.

Insomnia type? Because it was such a joy that you're afraid that another paradigm shattering experience might stretch the fabric of your existence in an irrevocable way?

[obscurejude]

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?

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

*anxiously awaiting amalgamation*

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.

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

[funky dredd]

I voted No because I don't see him writing any more novels on it. I think we will see some short stories at some point though.

Yay! Fuzzy Matt

Cool, I'm in the slow but steady process of rereading everything and keeping notes as I go

[Malficeus]

as much as i want there to be more in my heart i fell like there will not be maybe more comics like gunslinger born but probably not stories......sad

Ummm, what?

[timtempest6]

i would love to read the the story of the tet corporation

[LadyHitchhiker]

That's very true, I guess I wouldn't mind another story but I think this Roland, this katet, should be pretty much over

There are other stories than these...

if you read it very slowly you can understand it. There are not any punctuation which is impressive. I have a friend that does this and I have the same reaction as you when we IM each other. A 5 minute conversation can take up about 20 minutes

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]

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.

[lophophoras]

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.
