Hey! This might not be the info you're looking for, but I ended up reading Black House between Song of Susannah and The Dark Tower, since I had read The Talisman earlier & couldn't get my hands on The Dark Tower right away, and I think it ended up adding a lot to the reading experience of the series actually? I think that there are three main reasons for that:
1. chronologically, BH exists between SoS and TDT, so it fit in nicely
2. this book has the same sort of conceptual themes & connections that the whole last half of the DT series has, so it didn't really interrupt the flow of the series for me
3. it added a lot of world-building, which I always really enjoy in a series, but which I think it was best to have before the final book, since it's SUCH a good finale and I wouldn't have wanted to add anything after that, and also because it adds to the overall sense of epic-ness the whole series builds up to
Hope this can help! Happy reading :)

I found this when I was looking to see a suggested reading list for The Dark Tower series. It includes other books that Stephen King said have concepts related to the series and I found it interesting to read it in this order.

King does this a lot in his books. Books that have nothing to do with the Dark Tower series otherwise will nevertheless reference a character or place briefly. Just enough to tease you and kind of tie all his "worlds" together. I think it's really cool.

It isn't actually a part of the Dark Tower series, it is the sequel to The Talisman. While there are references to the Crimson King from the Dark Tower series (like many Stephen King books do), it doesn't have to be read in any specific order with any of the Dark Tower books.
