Stephen King‘s Darkish Tower collection, which stands at seven core books, a prequel brief story and a later novel, is just about completed now, proper?
Clearly there’s a Mike Flanagan TV adaptation within the works, however when it comes to the books themselves, that chapter is over?

“Mid-world remains to be there,” wrote King. “The Tower nonetheless stands.”
Mid-world is, after all, the identify of the world that is dwelling to the collection’ 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 not less than suggests the horror grasp can be glad to revisit that world at some point. On condition that he already returned to it with The Wind By the Keyhole, a novel set between books 4 and 5 that was revealed eight years after the principle collection 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 personal detective.
