I still don’t think we need another Dark Tower<\/em> novel, but… holy wow. Beautiful.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Courtesy Suvudu<\/a>, we now have a synopsis!<\/p>\n

For readers new to The Dark Tower, THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE is a stand-alone novel, and a wonderful introduction to the series. It is a story within a story, which features both the younger and older gunslinger Roland on his quest to find the Dark Tower. Fans of the existing seven books in the series will also delight in discovering what happened to Roland and his ka tet between the time they leave the Emerald City and arrive at the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis.<\/p>\n

This Russian Doll of a novel, a story within a story, within a story, visits Mid-World\u2019s last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. (The novel can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V.) Roland tells a tale from his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt ridden year following his mother\u2019s death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape shifter, a \u201cskin man,\u201d Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast\u2019s most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, \u201cThe Wind through the Keyhole.\u201d \u201cA person\u2019s never too old for stories,\u201d he says to Bill. \u201cMan and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.\u201d And stories like these, they live for us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As Wizard & Glass<\/em> (the best volume of the series) was also a story-within-a-story… I’m kinda even more intrigued now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
