The Dark Tower... More than thirty years have passed since Stephen King began writing his famous series - a seven-book saga about Roland, the last gunslinger. About his adventures in a strange world, the center of which is the Dark Tower... "The Guide" was created by Bev Vincent in close collaboration with Stephen King. This is the first attempt to consider all seven volumes of the saga as a single whole. The appendices provide two chronologies: actual events related to publications, and fictional ones taking place in the world of Roland and parallel worlds, a glossary of Middle World terms, a list of Internet resources, and the full text of Robert Browning’s mystical poem “Childe Roland Came to the Dark Tower.”
