The Dark Tower
Authors: Stephen King
PRAISE FOR STEPHEN KING’S THE DARK TOWER
THE DARK TOWER VII
“Pure storytelling. . . . An absorbing, constantly surprising novel filled with true narrative magic. . . . An archetypal quest fantasy distinguished by its uniquely Western flavor, its emotional complexity and its sheer imaginative reach. . . . The series as a whole—and this final volume in particular—is filled with brilliantly rendered set pieces, cataclysmic encounters, and moments of desolating tragedy. King holds it all together through sheer narrative muscle and his absolute commitment to his slowly unfolding—and deeply personal—vision. . . .
The Dark Tower
is a humane, visionary epic and a true magnum opus. . . . It will be around for a very long time.”
—The Washington Post
“A tale of epic proportions . . . [and] brilliant complexity. . . . Those who have faithfully journeyed alongside Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Oy will find their loyalty richly rewarded. . . . King has certainly reached the top of his game.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Stunning . . . cataclysmic. . . . His writing is as powerful as ever.”
—Bookmarks Magazine
“Plenty of action and quite a few unforeseen bombshells.”
—Booklist
The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower
is also available from Simon & Schuster Audio.

“The Dark Tower
series is King’s masterpiece.”
—The Florida Times-Union (Jacksonville)
“Equal parts Western, high fantasy, horror and science fiction, the series is one of the wildest pastiches ever put between covers. All through the series there are references and tips of the hat to iconic works of pop culture, including J.R.R. Tolkien’s
Lord of the Rings
trilogy, films like
The Seven Samurai
or the spaghetti Westerns popularized by Clint Eastwood, and even L. Frank Baum’s
Oz
books. . . . King brilliantly juggles all the plot elements.”
—The Denver Post
“The suspense master takes readers right over the edge.”
—Bangor Daily News
“Draws to a feverish, page-turning ending.”
—Boston Globe
“He’s done it again. . . . Stephen King is no ordinary wordsmith.”
—Philadelphia Inquirer
