“In "The Wind Through
the Keyhole," Stephen King returns to the rich landscape of Mid-World, the
spectacular territory of the Dark
Tower fantasy saga that
stands as his most beguiling achievement. Roland Deschain and his
ka-tet"--"Jake, Susannah, Eddie, and Oy, the billy-bumbler--encounter
a ferocious storm just after crossing the River Whye on their way to the Outer
Baronies. As they shelter from the howling gale, Roland tells his friends not
just one strange story but two . . . and in so doing, casts new light on his
own troubled past. In his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year
following his mother's death, Roland is sent by his father to investigate
evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a "skin-man" preying upon the
population around Debaria. Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, the brave but
terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast's most recent
slaughter. Only a teenager himself, Roland calms the boy and prepares him for
the following day's trials by reciting a story from the "Magic Tales of
the Eld "that his mother often read to him at bedtime. "A person's
never too old for stories," Roland says to Bill. "Man and boy, girl
and woman, never too old. We live for them." And indeed, the tale that
Roland unfolds, the legend of Tim Stoutheart, is a timeless treasure for all
ages, a story that lives for us. King began the Dark Tower
series in 1974; it gained momentum in the 1980s; and he brought it to a
thrilling conclusion when the last three novels were published in 2003 and
2004. "The Wind Through the Keyhole "is sure to fascinate avid fans
of the Dark Tower epic. But this novel also stands
on its own for all readers, an enchanting and haunting journey to Roland's
world and testimony to the power of Stephen King's storytelling magic.".
