The Wind Through the Keyhole (The Dark Tower #4.5)
Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fantasy (2012)
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.

The Little Sisters of Eluria (The Dark Tower 0.5)
This 4,000 copy Limited Artist Edition is numbered and is signed by Michael Whelan. It is issued in a foil stamped slipcase. Published in a larger format than the Dark Tower series which enhances Michael Whelan's thirteen full color plates and over twenty-three black & white designs.
"The Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed." This is our introduction to Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger, published by Donald M. Grant in THE DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER in 1982. Twenty years later Stephen King revised and expanded this volume. In his own words: "What I did want to do was to give newcomers to the tale of the Tower (and old readers who want to refresh their memories) a clearer start and a slightly easier entry into Roland's world. I also wanted them to have a volume that more effectively foreshadowed coming events.
This volume contains that expanded version as well as the novella THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA which chronicles an earlier adventure of Roland's as he persued the Man in Black.

The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower #7)
British Fantasy Award for Best Novel (2005)
Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. Susannah-Mia has been carried from the Dixie Pig (in the summer of 1999) to a birthing room—really a chamber of horrors—in Thunderclap's Fedic; Jake and Father Callahan, with Oy between them, have entered the restaurant on Lex and Sixty-first with weapons drawn, little knowing how numerous and noxious are their foes. Roland and Eddie are with John Cullum in Maine, in 1977, looking for the site on Turtleback Lane where "walk-ins" have been often seen. They want desperately to get back to the others, to Susannah especially, and yet they have come to realize that the world they need to escape is the only one that matters.
Thus the book opens, like a door to the uttermost reaches of Stephen King's imagination. You've come this far. Come a little farther. Come all the way. The sound you hear may be the slamming of the door behind you. Welcome to The Dark Tower.

Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower #6)
The next-to-last novel in Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is at once a book of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled suspense.
To give birth to her "chap," demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to New York City in the summer of 1999. The city is strange to Susannah...and terrifying to the "daughter of none," who shares her body and mind.
Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah but also on securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses it to the Sombra Corporation. Enlisting the aid of Manni senders, the remaining katet climbs to the Doorway Cave...and discovers that magic has its own mind. It falls to the boy, the billy-bumbler, and the fallen priest to find Susannah-Mia, who, in a struggle to cope witheach other and with an alien environment "go todash" to Castle Discordia on the border of End-World. In that forsaken place, Mia reveals her origins, her purpose, and her fierce desire to mother whatever creature the two of them have carried to term.
Eddie and Roland, meanwhile, tumble into western Maine in the summer of 1977, a world that should be idyllic but isn't. For one thing, it is real, and the bullets are flying.
These are the simple vectors of a story rich in complexity and conflict. Its dual climaxes, one at the entrance to a deadly dining establishment and the other appended to the pages of a writer's journal, will leave readers gasping for the saga's final volume (which, Dear Reader, follows soon, say thank ya).

Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower #5)
Roland Deschain and his "ka-tet" are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World, the almost timeless landscape that seems to stretch from the wreckage of civility that defined Roland's youth to the crimson chaos that seems the future's only promise. Readers of Stephen King's epic series know Roland well, or as well as this enigmatic hero can be known. They also know the companions who have been drawn to his quest for the Dark Tower: Eddie Dean and his wife, Susannah; Jake Chambers, the boy who has come twice through the doorway of death into Roland's world; and Oy, the Billy-Bumbler.In this long-awaited fifth novel in the saga, their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World's borderlands. Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul. One of the town's residents is Pere Callahan, a ruined priest who, like Susannah, Eddie, and Jake, passed through one of the portals that lead both into and out of Roland's world.
As Father Callahan tells the "ka-tet" the astonishing story of what happened following his shamed departure from Maine in 1977, his connection to the Dark Tower becomes clear, as does the danger facing a single red rose in a vacant lot off Second Avenue in midtown Manhattan. For Calla Bryn Sturgis, danger gathers in the east like a storm cloud. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the "Calla-folken" both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough.

The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower #1)
Beginning with a short story appearing in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1978, the publication of Stephen King's epic work of fantasy -- what he considers to be a single long novel and his magnum opus -- has spanned a quarter of a century.

This new edition of The Gunslinger has been revised and expanded throughout by King, with new story material, in addition to a new introduction and foreword. It also includes four full-color illustrations in the hardcover and trade paperback formats.

The Shining The Shining #1
Danny was only five years old but in the words of old Mr Halloran he was a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father became caretaker of the Overlook Hotel his visions grew frighteningly out of control.
As winter closed in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seemed to develop a life of its own. It was meant to be empty, but who was the lady in Room 217, and who were the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why did the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?
Somewhere, somehow there was an evil force in the hotel - and that too had begun to shine...

Doctor Sleep The Shining #2
literary awards
Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel (2014), ITW Thriller Award Nominee for Best Hardcover Novel (2014), Goodreads Choice for Best Horror (2013), Paris Review Best of the Best (2013), This is Horror Award for Novel (2013)
Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.”
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of devoted readers of The Shining and satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

دنی فقط پنج سالش بود اما به گفتۀ آقای هالوران پیر، او یک درخشنده بود، درخششی با منبع روحی. وقتی پدرش سرایدار هتل اُورلوک شد، الهامات دنی نیز رفته رفته از کنترل خارج شدند.
همین که زمستان از راه رسید و بوران امانشان را برید، به نظر رسید که در هتل نیز زندگی جان گرفت. قرار بود هتل خالی باشد، اما خانمی که در اتاق شمارۀ 217 بود که بود؟ و مهمانهایی با نقاب که با آسانسور بالا و پایین میرفتند که بودند؟ و چرا پرچینهایی که به شکل حیوانات هرس شده بودند به نظر زنده میآمدند؟
...جایی، به گونهای، نیرویی شیطانی در هتل وجود داشت... و این نیرو هم شروع به درخشش کرده بود.
خلاصۀ جلد دوم:
استیفن کینگ(نویسنده) دوباره به سراغ شخصیتها و قلمرو یکی از مشهورترین رمانهایش میرود، درخشش. این رمان در مورد دن تورنس میانسال (پسرک نقش اول جلد اول) و دختر دوازده سالۀ بسیار خاصی است که باید او را از دست گروهی مرگبار و غیرطبیعی نجات دهد.
در بزرگراههای آمریکا، گروهی از مردم که به اسم ترو نات شناخته میشوند در جستجوی امرار معاش خود هستند. آنها به نظر بیآزار میآیند... اکثرا پیر هستند، چادرهای پلیاستر دارند و با ماشینهایشان پیوند خوردهاند. اما همانطور که دن تورنس میداند، و آبرا استون دوازده سالۀ جسور یاد میگیرد، گروه ترو نات نیمهفانی هستند. از «بخار»ی تغذیه میکنند که بچههای درخشنده وقتی که به آرامی تا حد مرگ شکنجه میشوند تولید میکنند.
دن که توسط ساکنان اُورلوک روحزده شده بود و سالهای وحشتناک کودکیاش را آنجا گذرانده بود، سالها بود که آواره شده بود، محکوم شده بود که ناامیدی، اعتیاد به الکل و خشونت را از پدرش به ارث ببرد. بالاخره در ایالت هامپشیر ساکن میشود، اتماعی از الکلیهای ناشناس که از او حمایت میکنند و شغلی در یک آسایشگاه به دست میآورد تا تهماندههای قدرت درخشش خود را به صورت آخرین دلداری حیاتی در اختیار افراد در حال مرگ بگذارد. با کمک یک گربۀ پیشگو، او تبدیل به دکتر اسلیپ (خفته) میشود.
سپس دن، آبرا استون کوچک را ملاقات میکند، که به خاطر موهبت پرشکوهش، روشنترین درخششی که تا به حال دیده شده، درخشش اهریمنی دن دوباره شعلهور میشود و او را به جنگی بر سر روح آبرا و نجات او فرا میخواند. این کتاب، داستان جنگی حماسی بین خیر و شر است، داستانی خونین و شکوهمند که تن میلیونها خوانندۀ نفرین شدۀ درخشش را خواهد لرزاند و افراد تازه وارد به قلمرو کینگ (نویسنده) را خوشنود خواهد کرد.
