"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." With this iconic sentence, beloved and best-selling author, Stephen King, launched an epic tale that would introduce a vibrant mythos, legendary characters and worlds just adjacent yet connected emphatically to our own. It would span eight original novels, but it would also connect characters and stories in dozens of other books he has written. The Dark Tower is one of the most fascinating and original shared universes in pop culture and created by one of the greatest American writers of a generation. We will discuss the entire universe, reading through not just the eight novels, but making the connections to his other novels and reading those as well in a carefully planned chronology that the audience is encouraged to follow along with as well. Come... sit by the fire and palaver with us a while as we ruminate on tales spun of Roland of Eld, son of Steven, and his Ka-Tet as they seek The Dark Tower.
