![]() Each door opens upon our world, upon New York City where Jake lived. Roland gets seriously wounded by the creatures, losing the first two fingers of right hand to them – pretty tragic for a gunslinger.Īfter Roland manages to escape the lobstrosities, he encounters three doors standing freely upon the beach. Roland awakes in the middle of the night discovering that the incoming tide has brought a horde of Lovecraftian crawling, carnivorous creatures, brilliantly described as ‘lobstrosities’. The story begins shortly after where The Gunslinger ended, on the edge of the Western Sea. There is no point reading The Drawing of the Three (book two) if you have not read The Gunslinger (book one) so with that pearl of wisdom I will begin. The Dark Tower series is an exception but even then the last instalment Through the Keyhole creates linear havoc. As I have explained in my first couple of blogs, I don’t believe you have to read King chronologically. King also published three other books in 1987: The Eyes of the Dragon, Misery and finally Tommyknockers. I was born the year the second instalment of The Dark Tower series was published.
