Not my favorite SK short, but still glad i read it. Good to read more about Roland’s experiences.
I actually just read it in Everything’s Eventual, but wanted to track it for my Dark Tower reading record.

Just a nice addition to Rollands story, but this is why I don’t really read short stories like I just wasn’t with it long enough to care exactly.

A Dark Tower novella that is more classic King horror than the rest of the DT material. Really nice and succint, although my one complaint would be that Roland feels a little one-dimensional.

A pretty good short story about Roland from the DT books. I liked it but did not love it.

An enchanting, enthralling short story about one of my favorite gunslingers.

Slightly creepier than Gaiman, and I'm into it - at least so far. Visceral shivers. This is my first King, which is apparently a terrible place to start, but here we are.
