There Are Other World's Than These. Dark Tower (1978-82) / / Dark Tower (2003) as alternate permutations of Roland's trek to the phallus at the center of the multi-verse.
Since finishing up this series it's dawned on me that, unlike George Lucas' vanity retrofitting of Star Wars, The Dark Tower lends itself to variation; demands it even. I've basically signed up to the board to field the idea that, whether intentional or not, the Dark Tower 2003 could represent another cycle/reality of The Dark Tower quest that follows the final book. Not so much a rewrite to the '78-82 book as as a Dark Tower B (The 8th book and also the first of a second cycle).
I think King could do wonderful things with this concept, and it'd be interesting to see how the minor changes in the revision -
- could ripple out into catastrophic changes to the first arc; ala For Want Of A Nail.
Ideas - just like opinionated *******s on the internets (guilty) - are common enough that this one has probably already dawned on a lot of folks. But what do you all think? I'd like to hear your opinions.
H' nyway... I'd read it. Like E.E.Cummings said:

(My first post - forgive me for being so wordy.)

maybe even that one bullet put to Allie in mercy rather than indifferent survivalism
