Stephen King is a book production machine. You input time into Stephen King, and out come novels. To the degree that when Stephen King decides to write his first fantasy-scifi story, it's a grand 7-book 4250-page long series enmeshing western with horror with fantasy with scifi with adventure. What a series. And you just can't stop. Stephen King is a criminal drug dealer kinpin that sells highly addictive books. I've read them all within a year, intermittently reading other novels and non-fiction knowing that once I finish the series, my stash will be gone forever.
“An impressive work of mythic magnitude that may turn out to be Stephen King’s greatest literary achievement” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), The Gunslinger is the first volume in the epic Dark Tower Series.
A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces readers to one of Stephen King’s most powerful creations, Roland of Gilead: The Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which mirrors our own in frightening ways, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.
Inspired in part by the Robert Browning narrative poem, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” The Gunslinger is “a compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its center” (Milwaukee Sentinel). It is “brilliant and fresh…and will leave you panting for more” (Booklist).
