What this book is about

The sixth Dark Tower novel splits its storylines between Susannah's terrifying journey into New York carrying Mia's demon baby, and Roland and Eddie's journey to find a younger Stephen King in 1977 Maine. King's meta-insertion of himself as a character is both funny and genuinely unsettling in context. Significant violence; King's signature profanity; the existential weight of the series continues to deepen. For readers who have followed the series.
