Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast.

One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Each week I'll review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King and the chronological order of publication.

And today, if you're listening to this particular podcast episode, this is a bonus episode that was released the same day as my review of the talisman.

The content of this particular episode will revolve around the discussion regarding the

Dark Tower and its connections to the Talisman.

So here's a warning.

If you have not read the Dark Tower saga, and I mean the entirety of the

Dark Tower, I implore you to turn back now as I will get into heavy spoilers for the end

of the Dark Tower, and I don't want anyone's experience to be ruined in a podcast when everyone

should be able to experience it for themselves, spoiler-free,

on their own, good old-fashioned reading experience or audio experience,

if you prefer listening to books on tape.

So, again, if you haven't finished the Dark Tower and are only familiar of the Dark Tower

maybe through the Marvel Comics or you've

read The Gunsinger or a handful of the books, you know, go out and read them and then come back

and listen to this. So I'm going to get into that in a second, but while we are talking about

the Dark Tower and because there's going to be a focus on the dark

tower itself today um i'm going to use this opportunity to read an email uh sent from and i feel

bad because this particular person has been a um a big fan out there on Instagram and Twitter, and now she

finally wrote this email. I think if I pronounce it incorrectly, I apologize. I'm going to go

with the pronunciation of Manan, as I think that that's a really nice way of pronouncing it.
