While they shelter from the starkblast, Roland tells a story about his younger days, when he was sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-changer. At the scene of the crime he had tried to comfort a terrified young boy called Bill Streeter by reciting a story from The Magic Tales of the Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind through the Keyhole'. 'A person's never too old for stories,' he said to Bill. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.' And stories like these, they live for us. JOIN THE QUEST FOR THE DARK TOWER...

Reviews for The Wind through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel
Superbly energetic, it's King at his best.
Mail on Sunday on WIZARD AND GLASS
Classic King, fine characters, compellingly written in a gripping, well-honed plot
Daily Express on WOLVES OF THE CALLA
King is one of the great popular artists of our time.
Independent
A frantic-paced puzzle-box adventure that encompasses gunslinger Roland Deschain's early years, werewolves and powerful storytelling.
Shortlist
Like John Steinbeck, he's an unfussy writer whose voice is rooted equally in the rhythms of everyday speech and the mythic made manifest in everyday life. Indeed, reading King, you often sense the presence of the dustbowl America of The Grapes of Wrath . . . a King novel has a sparse elegance that most novelists never achieve in a whole career. Put it down to the insistent, economical and wholly distinctive authorial voice.
SFX Magazine
Perfectly balanced: another excellent example of King's sheer skill as a storyteller.
Daily Express
[A] phantasmagorical folk tale . . . King's ability to entertain and unsettle cannot be denied. The skill with which he delivers a shock or sense of gothic terror is simply unmatched
Independent on Sunday
