This is the first book in the series "The Dark Tower" by Stephen King. A heroic tale of good versus evil, it features one of Stephen King's most powerful creations--The Gunslinger, a haunting figure who embodies the qualities of the lone hero throughout the ages, from ancient myth to frontier western legend. His pursuit of The Man in Black, his liason with the sexually ravenous Alice, his friendship with the kid from Earth called Jake, are part of a drama that is both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, an alchemy of storytelling socery.
