The Wind Through the Keyhole: The Dark Tower IV-1/2

Now a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba

The Wind Through the Keyhole is another of Master of Horror Stephen Kingâ€™s New York Times bestselling installment in the massively popular Dark Tower series, a fabulously satisfying standalone story and a perfect addition to the series for new fans and old fans alike.

Roland Deschain and his ka-tetâ€”Jake, Susannah, Eddie, and Oy, the billy-bumblerâ€”encounter a ferocious storm just after crossing the River Whye on their way to the Outer Baronies. As they shelter from the howling gale, Roland tells his friends not just one strange story but two...and in so doing, casts new light on his own troubled past.

In his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following his motherâ€™s death, Roland is sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a â€œskin-manâ€ preying upon the population around Debaria. Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, the brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beastâ€™s most recent slaughter. Only a teenager himself, Roland calms the boy and prepares him for the following dayâ€™s trials by reciting a story from the Magic Tales of the Eld that his mother often read to him at bedtime. â€œA personâ€™s never too old for stories,â€ Roland says to Bill. â€œMan and boy, girl and woman, never too old. We live for them.â€ And indeed, the tale that Roland unfolds, the legend of Tim Stoutheart, is a timeless treasure for all ages, a story that lives for us.

King began the Dark Tower series in 1974; it gained momentum in the 1980s; and he brought it to a thrilling conclusion when the last three novels were published in 2003 and 2004. The Wind Through the Keyhole is sure to fascinate avid fans of the Dark Tower epic. But this novel also stands on its own for all readers, an enchanting and haunting journey to Rolandâ€™s world and testimony to the power of Stephen Kingâ€™s storytelling magic.
