The third door leads to 1977 and the mind of a psychopath called The Pusher, the very criminal responsible for Odetta’s injuries. The second leads to 1964 and the divided personality of Odetta Holmes/Detta Walker, an African American woman who has lost the bottom half of her legs but gained a second, psychotic self. The first opens onto New York, 1987, and the mind of a heroin addict called Eddie Dean. Fighting off the delirium brought on by the lobstrosity’s poison, Roland forces himself along the beach where he discovers three freestanding doorways that lead into our world. Roland kills the clawed creature, but not before it bites off two of his fingers and half of one big toe. It is Stephen King’s magnum opus, and is the center of his amazing creative universe.Īfter his final confrontation with the Man in Black in a remote mountain Golgotha, an exhausted Roland awakes on the beach of the Western Sea and is immediately attacked by a shoreline monster known as a lobstrosity. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Western classics, The Dark Tower series is an epic of Arthurian proportions. Inspired in equal parts by Robert Browning’s poem, “ Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” J.R.R. Unless Roland can find a way to save the Beams and stabilize the Tower, all of reality will blink out of existence. Because of this, the Tower itself is foundering. The six invisible magnetic Beams, which maintain the alignment of time, space, size, and dimension, are weakening. However, things are about to get much worse. Time and direction are in drift, and the fabric of reality is fraying. In Roland’s where and when, the world has already begun to move on.
Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat.

The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower.
