Part of why Steven King's fans are so excited about The upcoming TV adaptation of the "Dark Tower" is that the series of books on which it is based is unique to the horror master. In his introduction and then for the novels, he will describe the series as something that was channeled through it in mysterious ways; It was often effortlessly effortlessly felt with other novels.

King's spiritual approach to the "Dark Tower" series has led to some dubious stories, as his decision to base the fourth book on the 500 -page retrospective to Roland's childhood. From writing 101 perspective, this was a bad idea. But the way King talked about it seemed to have had a choice. Ka (Gilead's high speech as "fate") declared the mass retrospectives to be there, and who was king to argue with Ka?

Obviously, Ka also made a decision that the third book in the series "Waste Lands" should be concluded about the most E -Glifangerer in King's career. It ends with the main characters trapped in a giant sensitive train, the one who plans to withdraw, unless the characters beat him in the riddles. How do the characters manage to take advantage of the high-ending train? "Waste countries" doesn't tell you. Readers had to wait until the beginning of the next book "Wizard and Glass" to find out if (and how) the main character survived.

In the 1990s, readers were annoyed. This was the first time King has left readers on such an incomplete note, and he added an insult to injury by taking six years to publish the next novel. For the first time, his approach to "Gete I approach the sequel when he said it was time" no longer seemed charming for his constant readers.

Two years before King officially resolved Clifancher, he began writing "Green Mile", a novel that was originally released in installments. King said in his forward that, thanks to the feedback he received from "waste countries", he would publish these installments in fast and timely. As he explained:

"We get dozens of Angry Letters Each Week, Demanding the Next book in the 'Dark Tower' Cycle (Patience, Followers of Rolland; Another Year or so and Your Wait Will End, I Promise). Teddy-bear in chains, with a message cut out of newspaper headlines and magazine cover: release the next Dark Tower Book atce or the Bear Dies, It Said. How wonderful it is to have people to care for the creatures of one's imagination. "

At that time, King stood by Clifancher, talking about it in the note by his author in "Waste Countries" as if he were out of his control. "Although you are not obliged to believe me, I still have to insist that I was surprised by the conclusion of this third volume as some readers may be," he wrote. "However, the books they write themselves (as he did for the most part) must also be allowed to be completed."

In his later author's notes, he expressed regret for this attitude, especially after the fifth book "Wolves of Kala". In real life, King was affected by a van in 1999And the experience near death encouraged him to devote himself to writing the fifth, sixth and seventh books "Dark Tower" as soon as possible, whether he was in the mood or not.

The other element of King's wines was that he too was surprised at how long he lasted to complete the fourth book. The delay wasn't as bad as what Game of Thrones fans have had to endure With allegedly the upcoming "winds of winter", but it was a far larger gap in the announcement than King came, the one that King never repeated in the series.

The clearest expression of the king's wines over Clifanger's "Waste Countries" came into the books themselves; The last two novels have a target -story where the characters talk to King himself and encourage him to hasten and finish the books. They discover that the story of the dark tower is transmitted by writing King with greater strength and they use a little hypnotism to force King to return to writing it again. If it is not an implicit apology for readers, I don't know what it is.

The good news is that while King may have second thoughts on Clifancher, the upcoming TV show will be able to completely avoid Clifancher. With the benefit of the retrospective, the show-show Mike Flanagan could choose to solve Blaine's story on the train in a final of the action season. Forget about six years to solve that story; Why not solve the story without waiting at all?
