    <![CDATA[Beginning with a short story appearing in <em>The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction</em> in 1978, the publication of Stephen King's epic work of fantasy-what he considers to be a single long novel and his magnum opus-has spanned a quarter of a century. <br/><br/> Set in a world of extraordinary circumstances, filled with stunning visual imagery and unforgettable characters, <em>The Dark Tower</em> series is King's most visionary feat of storytelling, a magical mix of science fiction, fantasy, and horror that may well be his crowning achievement. In November 2003, the fifth installment, <em>Wolves of the Calla</em>, will be published under the imprint of Donald M. Grant, with distribution and major promotion provided by Scribner. <em>Song of Susannah</em>, Book VI, and <em>The Dark Tower</em>, Book VII, will follow under the same arrangement in 2004. With these last three volumes finally on the horizon, readers-countless King readers who have yet to delve into <em>The Dark Tower</em> and a multitude of new and old fantasy fans-can now look forward to reading the series straight through to its stunning conclusion. Viking's elegant reissue of the first four books ensures that for the first time <em>The Dark Tower</em> will be widely available in hardcover editions for this eager readership.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book drew me in with giddy excitement more so than #2.  It's a great read and much fun.  It's only marred by King's repeated use of cliff-hanger moments and tendency to always push resolutions to the very end.
