Rachel answers “Does anyone know exactly where Black House...”

Jack asked this question about Black House (The Talisman, #2):

Does anyone know exactly where Black House falls into place in the Dark Tower series?

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 :)(less)
