I don't think these will be as detailed, nuanced, or whatever else as the books, but I'm just looking for the overall gist of the story. Well, if you're a lazy girl (or guy!) like me, then you'll grab at the comic book version like it's the last life preserver on a sinking ship. Regardless of the reason, I now wanted to find out what this story was all about.Īnd then (after a bit of research on the interwebs) I found out that this was some sort of insane epic that consists of 8 large books and one novella, written over the course of 40+ YEARS. I'll be sitting over here in the corner if you want me.Īlright. Like every other asshole out there who doesn't bother reading a book until the movie comes out, I saw this trailer and suddenly got interested. It's simply personal preference and not a reflection on my feelings towards the man or his fans. But please don't think I'm trying to say his books are bad! The guy has talent oozing out of his pores, and I'm not trying to downplay what the impact of his presence in the literary world. Here's the thing, I don't really enjoy the rambling, weird, sometimes downright gross style of some of his writing. But yeah.Īnd all the King fans simultaneously do this: And, not being a huge fan of King's horror/fantasy/whatever tales, I hadn't been motivated to figure that out till now. Ok, I'm probably going to get crucified by King fans, but I thought that The Dark Tower story was the same as The Stand.
