The Dark Tower has become a favorite of many of Stephen’s constant readers. So much so, that a separate site within his site is dedicated to the series and its related works. Here you will find information about the series, news of the Marvel Dark Tower comic series, and more.

Stephen Kings Dark Tower Series

At the age of 19 Stephen decided he would like to write an epic similar to   The Lord of the Rings. The “spaghetti Westerns” of that time and a poem written by Robert Browning, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” became the inspiration for his magnum opus. The series written and published separately over a period of 22 years consists of seven books and the short story, “The Little Sisters of Eluria” published in his short story collection, Everything’s Eventual.

Discordia is an internet-based Dark Tower experience that has been in development since early 2007.  The project started as a small add-on concept for the then new Dark Tower Official Web Site. Over time, Discordia evolved into a progressive storytelling platform that leverages cutting-edge technologies to chronicle the war between Tet Corporation and Sombra/NCP.
