What if King wrote The Dark Tower VIII *end of series spoilers*

[fernandito]

And what you be inclined to pick it up? Or is Book VII the end of your journey to the Tower?

[MonteGss]

I personally would probably pick it up but I wouldn't like it. Even before buying it I wouldn't like it because DT7 is the end.

I'm a sucker though.

[fernandito]

I'm a sucker though.

And that's the name of the game, isn't it?

Just the way we couldn't heed King's warning and stop at the coda, we probably won't be able to resist picking up Vol. 8 - even if we didn't want to.

[sarah]

hell yeah, I would pick it up. I would lock myself away and read every last word before I emerged from my corner and then I would feel all dirty about it. But I would still buy it and read it in a snap.

Hi. I'm sarah and I'm a junkie.

[MonteGss]

I'd still not like it though.

*shakes hand*

[sarah]

[fernandito]

I'll see you there!


*Thank you for choosing Southwest Airlines*

oh yeah. i'd buy, i'd read it (and everything that followed it). but first i'd have to do yet another reread so it might take me as long as, say, a week to get to it.

and i'd come here and make a thread to bitch and moan about this and that. and did you guys think that was right or wrong. and what does it all mean anyway?

and then i'd sit down and read it again. and again. and again. until i had it memorized. just like with these. because let's face it. he wouldn't right it if the turtle weren't singing it or the bear weren't screaming it.

right?

[Ves'Ka Gan]

If it happened,I'd throw a hissy fit...tell anyone who would listen that 7 *ended it g'dammit!* and so on...and then I'd go buy it. I'd buy it hardback even (I rarely buy hardback...I like getting the most book for my buck) and read it as fast as possible.

If I loved the hell out of it, I'd say it was good. If it was good I would say it was ok, and if it sucked I'd tell every one with all the self-righteousness I could muster that it sucked, and I was right and King was jsut trying too damn hard.

BUT--Like Turtle said...I have a relative amount of faith that King wouldn't be the type to write soemthing for the sales, or even because people "wanted it".

I think there already IS a Dark Tower VIII, but it's not called that....

[ZGDK]

I think there already IS a Dark Tower VIII, but it's not called that....

Which one? Insomnia?

[Girlystevedave]

First I would complain that SK had lost his damn mind, but I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Then I'd sit and admire the pretty cover and smell the pages before diving right into it.
Just like finishing VII, I'd be excited and terrified.....although I'm sure this would leave more disappointment at the end. Then, I'm sure I would feel cheated and wished I'd never picked it up.

Revised Gunslinger - I should imagine?

[Wuducynn]

How would you feel if a hypothetical situation gave itself out, and Stephen King went ahead and wrote The Dark Tower VIII? Would you pick it up? Would you cry out in frustration because VII is the only ending?



Well, let's hear it!

I'd definitely read it, because for him to do something like that would make it a really big deal to me.

[Matt]

Matthew!! Nice to see you man.

[Tvmorbid]

I'm pretty happy with the ending we'ew got already, but I'm a sucker for continuing series' so I would buy it if it ever came to be

[Brice]

I'd bitch and complain, but I'd also be first in line for it.

...And it's good to see you again, dude.

[John_and_Yoko]

Revised Gunslinger - I should imagine?

Bingo. I had to go back and look at it after I finished the series.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I would TOTALLY read it.

That's exactly how I felt at the end of 7... I would think 8 would make me feel a little bit better though and that's why I would read 8...

[Girlystevedave]

See, I have a feeling that whatever was done with VIII would leave me feeling disappointment. Someone else said it right, when they said the entire loop would have to be redone, a new journey if you will. I think that is the only way I would be satisfied. Even then, I would probably feel angry over it. The same way a movie remake/sequel with different actors would piss me off.

[Wuducynn]

Matthew!! Nice to see you man.

Saw this...thought I'd link it.
