Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King.

Once I reviewed each of his works in the chronological order of publication, but Ka is a wheel, it all goes round again, and here I am once more on a new phase of the journey, one to examine each of the endings of the works of Stephen King, to determine whether or not King deserves his reputation for having an inability to successfully

land his endings.

The focus of the podcast will be to examine the climax following action and resolution of the

endings to each of his novels and break it down by character themes, conflict, and plot,

to determine whether or not it meets the criteria of being an objectively good ending.

I will also weigh in on whether or not I happen to personally, subjectively like the ending.

And today, I am here to discuss the ending of the Dark Tower.

There's a lot to talk about in regards to the ending of this particular book,

which isn't just an ending to this book,

but it is an ending to the previous six books that came before it,

and an ending to an entire chapter of Stephen King's Uvra.

It is an ending to a saga that wove in so many aspects of his themes and characters and locations.

And so it was a grand conclusion to a number of aspects of Stephen King.

So there is a lot to talk about.

But first I want to get to some listener emails.

So if you have some time on your hands and you want to write to someone on the internet feel free to write

into the stephen king cast at yahoo dot com to give me any and all of your thoughts about

stephen king the dark tower or what have you lisa writes hello i am a new listener new

listener to any podcast yours is my first when someone told me to just type in a subject that I would want to search on my podcast app, the first two words I typed were Stephen King. That led me to you and I am so grateful. Besides being a constant reader, and I actually have dear constantly reader tattooed on my forearm, I'm a tower junkie. I would not say I'm an expert, but a connoisseur of King's story arc and Easter eggs. In each of my Stephen King books, there are highlights, words in the margins, lines and arrows to where they might lead or imply and maps that I've drawn. I write all of the tropes and Stephen Kingisms on the pages they appear.

Some look like college textbooks of an insane grad student, and I do all of this for fun.

I'm going to jump in right now.
