I want to help you find your next favourite book.

This is an introduction to The Dark Tower, one of the greatest dark-fantasy series out there. It's spoiler-free and unbiased to help you decide if this is the right series for you to read.

We discussed the unique worldbuilding of the Stephen King Universe, the amazing characters of the Ka-tet, and all the very, very weird stuff that goes on in Mid-World.
