    The Dark Tower series is probably the more appropriate representation of fantasy for author Stephen King, but I just couldn’t make room for more novels. However, it’s also good to see how the modern horror genre takes a few pages from its sister, fantasy. This is an audiobook, so give yourself time to listen.
