The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah

Now with a stunning new cover look comes SONG OF SUSANNAH, the sixth captivating volume in King's epic fantasy series THE DARK TOWER.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In the next part of their journey to the tower, Roland and his band of followers face adversity from every side: Susannah Dean has been taken over by a demon-mother and uses the power of Black Thirteen to get from the Mid-World to New York City. But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play?

Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977. It is a terrible world: for one thing, it is real and bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called 'Salem's Lot.

Song of Susannah is driven by revelation and by suspense. It continues the Dark Tower series seamlessly from Wolves of the Calla and the dramatic climax will leave readers desperate to read the quest's conclusion.

About the Author

'At the age of 19 Stephen decided he would like to write an epic similar to The Lord of the Rings. The 'spaghetti Westerns' of that time [specifically The Good, the Bad and the Ugly] and a poem written by Robert Browning, 'Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came', became the inspiration for his magnum opus. The series written and published separately over a period of 22 years consists of seven books and the short story, 'The Little Sisters of Eluria' published in his short story collection, EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL.' From the author's website.
