A sprawling epic that encompasses many worlds, parallel and alternate timelines, and the echoes between these disconnections, Stephen King's Dark Tower series spans the hulk of the author's career, from The Gunslinger to The Wind Through the Keyhole (2012). The series cross-references King's others works and engages with a number of distinct and at times dissonant genre traditions, including Arthurian legend, fairy tales, the fantasy epic, the Western, and horror. This book examines these connections and genre influences to consider how King negotiates and transforms them, why they matter, and the impact they have on one another and on King's work as a whole.
