Tolkien’s work.Ī film serving as a sequel to the events of The Dark Tower was released in August 2017. Stephen King saw The Dark Tower series as a first draft, initially planning to rewrite it.
King’s style of location names in the series, such as Mid-World, and his development of a unique language (High Speech), are also influenced by J. He identifies Clint Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” character as one of the major inspirations for the protagonist, Roland Deschain. In the preface to the revised 2003 edition of The Gunslinger, King also identifies The Lord of the Rings, Arthurian legend, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as inspirations. The series was chiefly inspired by the poem “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came” by Robert Browning, whose full text was included in the final volume’s appendix. A story about a Cowboy who is searching for a Dark Tower, a pylon that controls all space and time, and an infinity of universes.In addition to the eight novels of the series proper which comprise 4,250 pages, many of King’s other books relate to the story, introducing concepts and characters that come into play as the series progresses. It inspired him to write a book based on the Man With No Name character, played by Eastwood. In the late 60's, Stephen King saw the Good, The Bad and the Ugly starring Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. Sorry.īut to sum up the series in one paragraph: I say short and dirty, but the story is long and convoluted, and even though I'm only hitting some major points, this synopsis is still a long read. Don't curse me if this turns out a big OLD MESS. Plus, this story is convoluted and complicated in parts, so it's easy to get lost.
Plus, I might get things slightly out of order to fully explain things. I'm also going to put a lot of my own crappola view of things in here, so take it with a grain of salt. I can't write everything that happens in 7 books, or it would be a book in itself. or movies, with a book, your mind can decide how much of the grossness to envision.Īt any rate, I will go into the major plot points, but not get to everything in the book. I find reading such things, I have a high threshold for it. But also like all King Books, there are some graphic moments, that if put into a movie, would make it rated X for gore and violence. Like all King books, these are supernatural thrillers, more so than "horror". Then go back and read one and two if you get bored and want some back story. I would suggest skipping books one and two, and go straight to 3. However, you really are missing out if you don't give them a shot.
Aight, this is going to be an extremely low dollar synopsis of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, so that those that don't want to invest the time and money in reading it, can read this post and move on with their lives.
