What Happened After the Portal Closed (Dark Tower 3)

[Ebdim9th]

I think in this case though, the book mentions somebody from the hardware store across the street witnessing something happening to the house....

So the mansion and the speaking ring are similar in both universes -- two places with demons as guardians, and both are doors to alternate universes. Didn't I read in one of the DT books that the demons can also be oracles, as with Roland's encounter at the way station and the speaking ring in DT 1, The Gunslinger? I couldn't imagine anyone trying to ask the demon in The Mansion for anything!

Also, I'm trying not to post spoilers, I'm mentioning briefly some plot devices.

Thanks for the post

I'm currently reading Dark Tower 3: The Waste Lands, and just got to the point where Jake Chambers has been pulled back into Roland's universe. I had kind of tangential question. Is it answered anywhere what happened on Jake's side of things; that is, what happened to the Doorkeeper monster/Mansion creature, which had the demon from Roland's world stuck in its throat? It makes me wonder if the demon and the Doorkeeper then fought each other, if anyone won, the impact on Brooklyn/NYC. This had to have attracted a lot of attention in the Borough, as the actual Mansion began to collapse, and cracks appeared in the street.

Also, what exactly is the Doorkeeper? Is it a demon that took physical form by possessing The Mansion? Or is it a monster that might have been created by negative energy in the house?

You will find out more on the demon of the Speaking Ring later in the series believe me.
