hi all, long days and plesent nights. im new to the series and im at the last half of the dark tower(book 7) what a master piece but cant help thinking it would be cool to read some pre dark tower storys ie about the old people that made shardic and the likes. and how they got to the point were there world moved on. as all we know is that our world(the old ones world) had moved on some time befor the gunslingers time, how did it get that way?(nuculer war) all we know is that the gunslinger is trying to mend it/stop it from ever geting that far but wouldnt not be wicked to read how it came to the world moving on right up to when the gunslingers quest starts and read it from the start to the end i dont know just think it would be cool i would love to chat to stephen king himself and just bounce my ideas of him maybe he might find some mojo to write more darktower novel prequel, inbetween or who knows, well if stephen dose see this post i would like to say thankee sai for such a wicked story that i could get truly lost and involved in will be sad when there is no more to read.

The Wind Through The Keyhole is a prequel. I haven't read it yet so I can't speak on any details of it's content. My friend who is just as much of a King/Dark Tower fan as I am, says it's awesome.

hay jonesy85 as far as im awere the wind through the key hole is set as an inbetween sort of story one that sort of fills in a few blanks and is set between books four and five so not quite a prequel i to have yet read it but look forward to.

...it is NOT a prequel...it is, for want of a better term, a bridge piece between DT 4 & 5....
