I had never read any other Stephen King (as I described here), and I went on to listen to the main Tower novels twice over again before reading any other King works.Ĭlearly I was very content with the story as-written. Why have an extended list?įor those who haven’t been keeping up, I started my Tower journey in the most mundane of ways: by reading the (then) seven main Tower books in order. With that in mind, I thought I’d put in my two cents on the idea of an extended reading list of Tower-related literature. (At the time of writing – June 2020 – it’s not entirely clear that humanity will even get to 2021, but we must live in hope!) She put out a plea to Tower Junkies everywhere to guide her in her quest for the Tower. The host, kim c, has not read the Tower novels and plans to begin her journey at the start of 2021. I’ve recently started listening to the most excellent The Year of Underrated Stephen King Podcast, which I can highly recommend for truly insightful analyses of the lesser known Stephen King works. Some Constant Readers even insist that all of King’s works ultimately tie in to the Dark Tower!īecause of this, lots of people have come up with lots of different ideas about an extended reading list – the best order in which to read the Dark Tower novels, with the other tie-in novels slipped in between the seven (or eight) main books. In fact, Bev Vincent’s The Road to the Dark Tower even provides synopses of the key tie-in books and how they relate to the Tower.
As regular readers of the Dark Tower novels know, many of Stephen King’s other works tie in to the Tower – either directly or indirectly.
