Wind Through the Paperback


Stephen King's new Dark Tower book, Wind Through the Keyhole, is coming out (in the format I have the rest of the series in) on Feb. 26, 2013. 



It is just a basic paperback. Not the larger format 'trade paperback' (which is coming in Nov. I haven't read any of the books yet, but they are in my reading pile. This book is essentially 'Dark Tower Book 4.5'. It was published AFTER The Dark Tower, the series finale but takes place earlier in the series (not before) making it an 'interquel'. 

Stephen King likes to re-do some of his books from time to time. As far as I can recall, he's only done so with The Stand and the first Dark Tower book, The Gunslinger. Here, he's added a bit to a SERIES.

Since I'm a first time reader, I've been told that the best order to read the material in is:

Gunslinger
Drawing of the Three
The Wastelands
Wizard and Glass
Little Sisters of Eluria (short story found in Everything's Eventual)
Wind Through the Keyhole
Wolves of the Calla
Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower

Any King scholars, feel free to weigh in via comments....



Once I'm finished reading the books, I plan to venture into the Dark Tower comic series by Marvel.

Here's more detail about that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Tower_comics

Stephen King serves as Creative and Executive Director.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
