About This Audiobook

Roland and his ka-tet shelter from a starkwblast and Roland tells two stories: one about a young boy named Tim Ross who enters a transformed forest to find his father, and within that a tale of a skin man, a shapeshifter, terrorizing a mining settlement. Stephen King sets the fourth novel in the Dark Tower sequence between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla, using the nested narratives to explore the fairy tale logic that runs beneath the series' mythological architecture.

Frank Muller was Stephen King's preferred narrator before his death, and this recording captures the quality that made Muller irreplaceable: a storyteller's natural rhythm, a voice that is intimate without being theatrical, and the patience to let King's long sentences find their own shape. At over twenty-seven hours, this is the series' most novelistically ambitious entry, and Muller's performance is one of the finest audiobook recordings in the King catalog.
