Killer have you read the dark tower series?
Excellent, often excentric set of books
Yes I have. It's actually my favorite set of books. Stupendous. Magnificent. Words alone can't describe how much I liked it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I'm even looking around at yard sales and used book shops for the big versions of the first four books (hard cover or soft -- was there even a hard cover for the first 4? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> ).
Have you heard of King's
Everything's Eventual ? Its another of his short story books, and it includes a side adventure of Roland Deschain that takes place just before the Dark Tower series.
Also, if you like the Dark Tower adventure, there is a related story that takes place in two other books by King, with the help of Peter Straub:
The Talisman and
Black House . They also, are very good.
Alot of King's stories are partially linked to The Dark Tower books.
'Salem's Lot is one (Father Callahan);
The Stand is another (Randall Flagg); amung others.
Alot of people think King's books are all craziness, but its not just that. Though his stuff has alot of craziness in it, his stories are fascinating and perfectly blunt. Happy endings are a possiblilty, but just as likely as a sad one. He might make you attached to a character, than that character dies unheroicly (not all heros at heart can end up being heros in reality). His ideas are amazing, his description uncensored for those who are easily offended by vulgarity. He is his own writer, and he does stuff his way.
