2004 | Award Nominated | Bram Stoker Award Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel |
21 September 2004 | Publication | The conclusion to a series begun over thirty years earlier divided readers sharply, largely over its ending - which King defended in an author's note addressed directly to the reader. Won the British Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 2005. Nominated for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel the same year. The Washington Post called the series "a humane, visionary epic and a true magnum opus." The New Yorker praised it as "better and weirder" than expected. Some critics felt the final chapters were rushed or unsatisfying; King's response was characteristically direct, arguing that the journey was the point and that readers who wanted a different ending were welcome to imagine one. Published on King's birthday. |
