The Wind Through the Keyhole is a story within a story within a story.
Roland’s task is to make Eddie and Odetta into gunslingers before raging Detta destroys them all, and before the Pusher can continue his bloody killing spree.Īlthough it is officially the eighth book of the Dark Tower saga, Stephen King likes to call The Wind Through the Keyhole book 4.5 of the series, since it takes place after our tet escapes the Green Palace at the end of Wizard and Glass, and before they reach Calla Bryn Sturgis, setting for Wolves of the Calla. 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. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.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. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. King set out to write his great epic in the tradition of The Lord of The Rings but gave his story a western feeling and set it in the post-apocalyptic future.The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. The pace is slower and it is riddled with philosophic and religious undertones. It’s quite different from his other work. I am upset with myself, being a reader of King, for not picking this series up sooner. Just finished the first book, The Gunslinger. “I’m starting Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series. Roland meets several people along his journey, including a boy named Jake Chambers who travels with him part of the way. The novel follows Roland’s trek through a vast desert and beyond in search of the man in black. The story centers upon Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger who has been chasing after his adversary, “the man in black”, for many years. The Gunslinger is a novel by American author Stephen King, and is the first volume in the Dark Tower series, which King considers to be his magnum opus.
