The last, for now, Dark Tower book takes us back to visit Roland and the gang. This book’s events take place between books 4 and 5. King tries out a story-within-a-story structure to tell us more about Roland’s adventures. Did we like it, though? It’s complicated.

Justin and Kayla get to one of King’s most beloved tomes, his time travel epic. Jake Epping goes back in time to save JFK, but this book is all about the journey, not the destination. Just like real life, am I right?!

Feeling a little trapped lately? Neighbors acting weird? We all feel a little under the dome lately, and the book came about in our journey at the right time! Justin and Kayla discuss one of King’s longest books and touch on some of the themes. Turns out, these themes feel pretty fresh right now!

Justin and Kayla take on King’s Florida novel, Duma Key. King takes another shot at blending a more literary style with supernatural elements and revisits themes like the power of visual art. He also tosses in some surprise ghost pirates, in case we forgot that he writes horror.

Stephen King gives gothic romance another go with Lisey’s Story, another one of his more “literary” efforts. Justin and Kayla have thoughts on his writing style, the use of the “interior language of marriage,” and odd timeline structures.

After some cell issues, Justin and Kayla are able to discuss King’s book about cell issues. Written as cell phones were becoming more common, King’s book seems even more relevant now. But is the book good?

Justin and Kayla breeze through King’s blessedly short and sweet mystery book.

Justin and Kayla wrap up the final book in The Dark Tower series. Here, we say goodbye to our ka-tet and wrap up all the plot lines neatly. NOT! The Dark Tower series is King’s big fantasy series, and he definitely does it in his unique style.

Justin and Kayla dive into the penultimate book in the Dark Tower series. This book features vampires, split personalities/bodies, street preachers, magic turtle figurines, and Stephen King himself. It’s a weird book.

Kayla and Justin begin a stretch of three Dark Tower books with The Wolves of the Calla. In this book, small community faces off against a roving band of evil “wolves,” we see an old friend and get meta, Susannah gets another personality, and the team tries to buy a plot of land in New York City. Whew! This book is a doozy!
