With the full cooperation of Stephen King himself, The Road to the Dark Tower examines the epic journey of the author to complete a story that threatened to overwhelm him. In this indispensable companion, Bev Vincent presents a book-by-book analysis of each volume in the series, tracing the Dark Tower's connections to King's other novels including The Stand, Insomnia, and Hearts in Atlantis, and offering insights from the author about the creative process involved in crafting his lifelong work-a work that has consumed not only Stephen King, but his legion of devoted readers. This is essential reading for any Dark Tower-or Stephen King-fan.]]> 3469 3.77 208 16 2004 2582428 0316012513 9780316012515 4 <![CDATA[Mystery Writers of America Presents The Blue Religion: New Stories about Cops, Criminals, and the Chase]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255803669m/2582428.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255803669s/2582428.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2582428.Mystery_Writers_of_America_Presents_The_Blue_Religion_New_Stories_about_Cops_Criminals_and_the_Chase 4.13 23

Meer dan dertig jaar geleden schreef Stephen King deze woorden op een vel groen papier. Zo begon De Donkere Toren. De zevendelige saga volgt Roland de scherpschutter op zijn queeste om de Donkere Toren te bereiken en ontelbaar veel werelden te redden. Het is het magnum opus van Stephen King.]]> 3469 3.77 208 16 2004 6295334 0954766520 9780954766528 0 <![CDATA[Lighthouse IV (4): Stephen King Special Issue]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6295334.Lighthouse_IV_4_Stephen_King_Special_Issue 0.0 0

From Bev Vincent's introduction:
"My contract with NAL (New American Library) for The Road to the Dark Tower stipulated that I would deliver to them a 70,000-word manuscript. Ron Martirano, my editor, said I could probably go as high as 80,000, but my publisher wanted to keep the book from appearing too thick and daunting on the shelf.

Early on, I had an idea I was going to have a hard time keeping it under 100,000 words. What I ultimately submitted ran slightly over 130,000 words, including footnotes and appendices. I fully expected to be told I'd have to cut some -- or a lot -- of material, a process I did not relish.

Fortunately, my editor is as big a fan of the Dark Tower series as I am and he made no mention of the fact that I'd delivered nearly double what my contract specified, concentrating instead on the content.

However, I had already removed some material before I submitted the manuscript. The Dramatis Personae chapter was by far the longest in the book and my first draft featured not only the principle characters but subsidiary characters who either made repeat appearances throughout the series or who I considered pivotal for other reasons.

Rather than reduce the space devoted to the major characters, I decided, after much soul-searching and regret, to delete some of the lesser players. Now, thanks to this Cemetery Dance chapbook, I have the opportunity to reintroduce readers to eight characters worthy of scrutiny.

Here, then, are the good, the bad, and the ugly."]]> 3469 3.77 208 16 2009 7376184 0981989470 9780981989471 0 <![CDATA[Shroud 6: The Quarterly Journal of Dark Fiction and Art (Volume 1)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7376184-shroud-6 0.0 0 27142 3.60 343 27 207708 3.51 773 113 105839 3.66 821 159 3469 3.77 208 16 1213826 0.0 0 0 224179 3.79 47 17 3251503 0.0 0 0 3061312 4.22 9 6 2009
