Stephen King drops cryptic Dark Tower hint on X

Stephen King’s Darkish Tower sequence, which stands at seven core books, a prequel quick story and a later novel, is just about completed now, proper?

Clearly there is a Mike Flanagan TV adaptation within the works, however when it comes to the books themselves, that chapter is over?

Effectively, you by no means know. On Wednesday, King shared some fan artwork on X (previously Twitter) of important character Roland Deschain strolling by Mid-world — and he adopted it up with a put up hinting that we’d not have seen the final of the Gunslinger’s former residence.

“Mid-world continues to be there,” wrote King. “The Tower nonetheless stands.”

Mid-world is, in fact, the title of the world that is residence to the sequence’ eponymous Darkish Tower, which itself holds the very cloth of the multiverse collectively. We do not know precisely what King meant by that put up, however it no less than suggests the horror grasp can be completely satisfied to revisit that world in the future. On condition that he already returned to it with The Wind Via the Keyhole, a novel set between books 4 and 5 that was revealed eight years after the principle sequence ended, this perhaps is not all that a lot of a shock.

Nonetheless, simply because it is on his thoughts, doesn’t suggest we’ll be seeing any extra Darkish Tower tales anytime quickly. The “Upcoming Works” part of King’s official web site is at the moment clean, and primarily based on earlier interviews it seems that King is at the moment engaged on one other novel that includes Holly Gibney, his recurring non-public detective.
