The Dark Tower Series

"The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed..."

Every time I hear the word 'epic,' I can't help it but to think of 'The Dark Tower' series, by many considered to be the greatest work of horror fiction writer Stephen King.

The complete saga was written over a period of 20 years, and it represents one the best works of fiction of all times. What makes The Dark Tower so special? If you ask me I'd tell you the mix of different genres and a very original story makes the series genuinely unique. The Dark Tower is not a horror, or fantasy, or quest, or western, or science fiction, or post apocalyptic story; it's all of them blended together in one gripping and compelling work of art.

The story revolves around Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger, who travels across Mid-World in a quest to find The Dark Tower: the center of the space, the center of time, and the center of life. Along with his companions, Roland looks for the weakening Tower desperately, before it collapses and sweeps the whole universe out of existence.

If you're looking for a book that contains the mythology and mysticism of The Lord of the Rings, but with a modern science-fictional setting of parallel universes, time traveling, multidimensional worlds and post apocalyptic landscapes, The Dark Tower awaits you.
