Ol' Steve has said that he's had a possible idea for an 8th Dark Tower book, so far title is tenatively 'The Wind Through The Keyhole'.

I'm intrigued to say the least. My mind keeps going over all the little 'Easter Eggs' he's placed in various non-D.T. books over the years. Mind you a lot are probably dead ends, but I think this new book might bring in something from 'The Colorado Kid' considering that was his first book after D.T. 7. The reason I think that is because there are two time line 'errors' he insists are 'not errors'.

Commela, come, come, perhaps the journey is not yet done...

Your feelings, hopes, theories, etc. fellow D.T. junkies?
 
I am one of those who thinks that the whole saga fell apart in the last three books, so another book does not thrill me at all.
 
I'm at least betting D.T. 8 starts out, "The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.":D
 
Dude, the ending to that series was such a rip-off. The only reason I might read this is in the hopes that he fixes it.

"You screwed up. Do it again!"

Feh. All that set-up about Size for nothing.

Yep. And I don't trust he will be able to fix anything with another book. So, no thanks.
 
I'm all for another book. He can't possibly make it worse, right?

Right?

;)
 
I think a story about Roland, Cuthbert and Alain that spans the time after Mejis through Jericho Hills would be interesting. There's a lot of story there to tell.

My first reading of the series left me a bit disappointed, but I recently re-read the series and enjoyed it much more the second time around. The scene in Wizard and Glass where Cuthbert comes to the aid of Sheemie is one of the best things King has ever written.
 
CJW, while I'd love to see Cuthbert and Alain again, I'm kind of hoping it's Jamie De Curry if Steve does an 'early' story. All we ever really got to know about the guy was that he had a birth-mark...

I'm going to have to agree with that. That, and I feel that he crapped all over a lot of his previous stories with this load of crap.
 
I'll read it because I'm a sucker.

And yeah, the last DT book was quite the letdown. It was like he couldn't figure out an ending that could live up to all those years of buildup so he just decided on "do-over!".

You read the afterward, didn't you? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STOP!

I would like to see Eye of the Dragon tied in to the whole story more. That was my favorite as a kid.
 
The only thing I liked in the last few books was the epilog to Salem's Lot. One of those books could easily have been eliminated (my vote is for Song of Susannah).

The graphic novels have been pretty good as a continuation or companion to the series and his recent novel the epic Under the Dome was very good (I read all 1072 pages in less than a week). So, I would probably buy a book 8.

Seconding the graphic novels. Beautiful artwork too.

I have Under the Dome on the bookshelf (got it from Amazon for 9 bucks) but I'm currently working on Duma Key which is so-so but I'm only 100 pages in.
 
I'm getting the graphic novels for Christmas...I've been really good and haven't peeked at them to much on the net.

A good friend of mine from the Dark Tower site thinks there will be a Talisman tie-in...she's been pretty right in the past at predicting what may come next. Maybe there will be a little 'Travelin' Jack'.
 
LOl, you might have seen me there then...

The same friend just gave me a link to the "Discordia" on-line Dark Tower game. I put a link over in the 'games' section.

That's where I got it. I couldn't believe how cheap it was compared to retail stores.

When the box came I thought they had sent something else with it. Nope it was just a large book.
