DARK TOWER OMNIBUS "The Man in Black fled across the desert…and the gunslinger followed." With those words from a short story published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Stephen King launched one of the most seminal characters in his lifetime of writing into a destiny fraught with danger, death, triumph and loss.

Eerie, dreamlike, set in a world that is weirdly related to our own, The Gunslinger introduces Roland Deschain of Gilead, of In-World that was, as he pursues his enigmatic antagonist to the mountains that separate the desert from the Western Sea. Roland is a solitary figure, perhaps accursed, who with a strange singlemindedness traverses an exhausted, almost timeless landscape. The people he encounters are left behind, or worse—left dead. At a way station, however, he meets Jake, a boy from a particular time (1977) and a particular place (New York City), and soon the two are joined—khef, ka, and ka-tet. The mountains lie before them. So does the man in black and, somewhere far beyond…the Dark Tower.

For those discovering the epic bestselling Dark Tower series for the first time—and for its legions of dedicated fans—an immensely satisfying stand-alone novel and perfect introduction to the series.Beginning in 1974, gaining momentum in the 1980s and coming to a thrilling conclusion when the last three novels were published in 2003-2004, the Dark Tower epic fantasy saga stands as Stephen King’s most beguiling achievement. It has been the basis for a long-running Marvel comic series.

Now, with The Wind Through the Keyhole, King has returned to the rich landscape of Mid-World. This story within a story within a story finds Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, in his early days during the guilt-ridden year following his mother’s death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a “skin-man,” Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast’s most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime. “A person’s never too old for stories,” he says to Bill. “Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.”

11/22/63: Another best selling book from Stephen King

This novel strays from King’s popular and terrifying – don’t turn out the lights and hide under the bed- horror tales.  It is based on time travel and a tantalizing theme of love,loss,friendship,and saving the world from sure catastrophe.
 Buy this book cheapest here.

Time travel novels have seemingly been “done to death”, but King truly makes the concept as new and refreshing as possible.  The reader follows high school teacher Jake Epping through time travel trial and error, as he goes back to the 50′s to ultimately attempt to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  Along the way, he rights some wrongs in other people’s lives, and has to start the whole process over again as he makes mistakes along the way.  He finds friendship, true love, and a darker side of him that he never knew existed. He also learns that starting over and righting the wrongs in the world is not always the best or most honorable thing to do, and this has been his biggest lesson.
    

King leads us, his “constant readers”, to not only imagine a world of time travel and do-overs, but to contemplate what the world would be like if things had turned out differently back in our own world history.  He has an amazing gift for seamlessly meshing the old and new, the good and bad, and the true and fictitious.  Although this isn’t a typical King novel that will leave you with phobias you never knew you had, it is a creative and ingenious masterpiece of time and space that will leave you, the reader, contemplating a few of your own do-overs.  This novel can and does rank with the best of King’s work.
