Dunno if what comes after would qualify as a spoiler. Maybe not. But...
All I can say is...the ba$tards!
Congrats to Uncle Stephen on creating characters and scenes so vivid they actually made me feel rage, but...if I were Roland, there'd've been a few more corpses lying about and no mistake. That town...there'd be nothing left but ghosts and the wind by the time I was done.
I know it's all part of the series, but that 'story within a story' was/would be great as a stand-alone.
Yet it also filled me with something close to despair. I read it, I loved every word...and awareness crept in that I could never come close to half of that.
So, excellent story (stories?), and grudging 'thanks' for the writer's block that's bound to strike.
