Everything you've been looking for...and then some!!
It seems as if almost every book Stephen King has ever written ties in, somehow, somewhere, with this series. Eyes of the Dragon, Insomnia, The Stand, The Talisman (his combined work with Peter Straub), and at least one of his short stories concerning 'Salem's Lot all have a place in this meticulously crafted universe. If you've ever read King, you're already a fan, but this series is, beyond a doubt, his greatest accomplishment. Like some other readers I've been suffering anxiety attacks while waiting for the 4th book in the series, thinking some disaster would befall King and the series would be left unfinished. Now that I've read the latest volume (3 times) I'm beginning to fiend all over again. I can't wait for the 5th book, and sadly I know it will probably be a long time coming, but will definately be worth the wait. This series is truly a work of art.
