the wind through the keyhole a dark tower novel

I mentioned two potential projects while I was on the road, one a new Mid-World book (not directly about Roland Deschain, but yes, he and his friend Cuthbert are in it, hunting a skin-man, which are what werewolves are called in that lost kingdom) and a sequel to The Shining called Doctor Sleep. On December 1, 2009, Stephen King posted a poll on his official website, asking visitors to vote for which book he should write next: While promoting his novel Under the Dome, King confirmed this during his TimesTalk event at The TimesCenter in New York City on November 10, 2009, and the next day King's official site posted the information that King will begin working on this novel in about eight months, with a tentative title being The Wind Through the Keyhole.

Those seven books are really sections of one long über-novel.' King said, regarding the series, 'It's not really done yet. Unlike the Artist Editions of the DARK TOWER 5, 6 & 7 there is no limitation on who may buy this edition.In an interview in March 2009, King stated, describing an idea for a new short story he recently had: 'And then I thought, 'Well, why don't I find three more like this and do a book that would be almost like modern fairy tales?' Then this thing started to add on bits and pieces so I guess it will be a novel.' According to King, the idea is a new Dark Tower novel. There is a 5,000 copy Artist Edition signed by Jae Lee and issued in a stamped slipcase. Jae is best known to Stephen King fans as artist for the Dark Tower Graphic Novels,

These Limited Editions are embellished with 6 Full-Color and 11 Black & White illustrations by award winning artist Jae Lee. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.' Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind Through The Keyhole.' 'A person's never too old for stories,' he says to Bill. There is only one surviving witness: a brave but terrified boy called Bill Streeter. Here Roland discovers a bloody churn of bootprints, clawed animal tracks and terrible carnage – evidence that the 'skin-man', a shape shifter, is at work. In his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt ridden year following his mother's death, Roland is sent by his father to a ranch to investigate a recent slaughter. As they shelter from the screaming wind and snapping trees, Roland tells them not just one strange tale, but two – and in doing so sheds fascinating light on his own troubled past. We join Roland and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam.
