nice one. Overkill perhaps at this stage but will still be good to get some more
Yeah, here is the wiki
The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole is an upcoming novel by Stephen King. As part of The Dark Tower series, it will be the eighth Dark Tower novel, but, according to King, chronologically set between volumes four and five. First mentioned by King in 2009, after the conclusion of the series with the seventh novel, it was announced on the author's official site on March 10, 2011. It is scheduled to be published in 2012.[1]
Background information
In an interview in March 2009, King stated, describing an idea for a new short story he recently had: "And then I thought, 'Well, why don't I find three more like this and do a book that would be almost like modern fairy tales?' Then this thing started to add on bits and pieces so I guess it will be a novel." According to King, the idea is a new Dark Tower novel. King said, regarding the Dark Tower series, "It's not really done yet. Those seven books are really sections of one long über-novel."[2]
While promoting his then-new novel Under the Dome, Stephen King confirmed this during his TimesTalk event at The TimesCenter in New York City on November 10, 2009, and the next day King's official site posted the information that King will begin working on this novel in about eight months, with a tentative title being The Wind Through the Keyhole.[3]
On December 1, 2009, Stephen King posted a poll on his official website, asking visitors to vote for which book he should write next:
I mentioned two potential projects while I was on the road, one a new Mid-World book (not directly about Roland Deschain, but yes, he and his friend Cuthbert are in it, hunting a skin-man, which are what werewolves are called in that lost kingdom) and a sequel to The Shining called Doctor Sleep. Are you interested in reading either of these? If so, which one turns your dials more? [We] will be counting your votes (and of course it all means nothing if the muse doesn't speak).[4]
The voting ended on December 31, 2009. The following month it was revealed that Doctor Sleep received 5,861 votes, while The Wind Through the Keyhole received 5,812.[5]
However, King's previous description of the premise seems to contradict his own statement announcing the release of the book:
The major story of Roland and his ka-tet was told, but I realized there was at least one hole in the narrative progression: what happened to Roland, Jake, Eddie, Susannah, and Oy between the time they leave the Emerald City (the end of Wizard and Glass) and the time we pick them up again, on the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis (the beginning of Wolves of the Calla)? [6]
Really interested in The Shining sequel, too.
