Comixfan Forums - STEPHEN KING BREAKS NEW GROUND AT MARVEL WITH HIS EPIC THE DARK TOWER The Tower is essentially the nexus of every reality imaginable, and because of corruption and the outside influence of others, the walls that seperate these realities have come crumbling down and through the course of the series, characters appear from all sorts of places, including our own world. The series will expand the saga of King’s epic hero, Roland Deschain, whose quest to save the Dark Tower is captured in seven best-selling novels published over the course of twenty-five years. I don't want to spoil the series, but I will say that throughout the series it becomes clear that Roland's world is very much tied to our own, one small example of this being the playing of Beatle's songs on piano in a saloon. www.comixfan.com /xfan/forums/showthread.php?t=36329   (2205 words)

TheDarkTower.net TowerWiki - The Lord Of The Rings Saruman, like Rhea of the Coos, was corrupted by staring into a crystal ball which had become ensnared by the looking glass (Palantír) the Dark Lord Sauron obtained and bent to his will (or, in The Dark Tower series, the Crimson King). The Gray Havens are mentioned in The Dark Tower; the Gray Havens are one of the last places in the north-west where the Elves can retire from Middle-Earth and go back to Elvenhome. Saruman used to be the White, but when he turned to evil, he dyed his robes many colors. www.thedarktower.net /wiki/Main/TheLordOfTheRings   (1229 words)

The Annotated Amber When I threw out the question on the Amber list several people (Claire Bickell, Rikibeth Stein, and Bernie Hsiung) came back with the answer that the line referred to was from Robert Browning's 1855 poem, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came". People running games of Amber may be able to pick up ideas for other places to look for inspiration, and the rest of us may be pointed to interesting reading material. Thus it is no surprise that despite general feelings that his Amber series is less groundbreaking than masterpieces like Lord of Light or Creatures of Light and Darkness, it is still rife with allusions. www.z-amber.com /annotated.html   (2611 words)

An interesting point that Krulik couldn't make because the Merlin series hadn't been started yet at the time he wrote his bio of Zelazny is that in the Merlin Series, Dara is nearly a queen of Chaos, while in Book V of The Faerie Queene Duessa allegorically stands for Mary, Queen of Scots. www.z-amber.com /annotated.html   (2611 words)

Midgard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stephen King also used a mutation of Midgard in his works, naming the parallel universe in his Dark Tower series "Mid-World", although that may be only the name of an ancient kingdom. Midgard (the common English transliteration of Old Norse Miðgarðr), Midjungards (Gothic), Middangeard (Old English), Middellærd (Middle English), Midgård (common Danish and Swedish) and Mittilagart (Old High German), from Proto-Germanic *medja-garda (*meddila-, *medjan-, projected PIE *medhyo-gharto), is an old Germanic name for our world, the places inhabited by men, with the literal meaning "middle enclosure". In the TV series Stargate SG-1, Midgard is how natives of the Protected Planets refer to Earth. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Midgard   (642 words)

BBC - h2g2 - Stephen King - The Books and Films Kings major delving in to the wolrd of fantasy is 'The Dark Tower' series. King has a way of making his world familiar, and some the characters and places that feature in one King book or story, have a habit cropping up time and again. King appears to have back-pedalled somewhat, in terms of categorising himself as an horror writer, in recent years; yet he doesn't find it too difficult to slot horror stories into three distinct areas, maintaining that all 'horror' is a version of one of these three categories: www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/A436385   (3680 words)

Amazon.com: 'Salem's Lot: Books King is always one at being a masterful writer when he wants to be, as seen with the epic seven book series of the Dark Tower (my personal favorite) and the epic novel The Stand. There are a few places where it is a little hard to follow just who is saying what in some of the conversations but beyond that I could find few flaws. King is indeed a master when it comes to bringing gloom and doom off of his pages and into the hearts of his readers. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0671039741?v=glance   (2884 words)

Comixfan Forums - STEPHEN KING BREAKS NEW GROUND AT MARVEL WITH HIS EPIC THE DARK TOWER The Tower is essentially the nexus of every reality imaginable, and because of corruption and the outside influence of others, the walls that seperate these realities have come crumbling down and through the course of the series, characters appear from all sorts of places, including our own world. Essentially the story follows Roland Deschain of Gilead, the last Gunslinger, who is on a quest to find The Dark Tower. Marvel's probably more than willing to give a lot of creative freedom to a writer as high-profile as Stephen King, especially since the character of Roland has a voice that would be difficult to capture in anything other than captions. www.comixfan.com /xfan/forums/showthread.php?t=36329   (2161 words)

The SF Site Featured Review: The Dark Tower: Song of Susannah The lot contains a single infinitely powerful rose, a kind of analogue in our world for the Dark Tower in Roland's (and though King never directly invokes the poem, a symbolic nod to William Blake's "The Sick Rose"). The number of coincidences that structure the events leading Roland and Eddie through this process is staggering, almost ridiculous, until the two decide to visit a writer living in Bridgton, Maine for the oddest turn of the series yet -- King's appearance as a character in his own narrative. The impact broke four of his ribs, his right hip, one leg in nine places, chipped his spine, and inflicted several other injuries severe enough to nearly kill him. www.sfsite.com /10a/ss185.htm   (1500 words)
