2003 | Award Nominated | Bram Stoker Award Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel |
4 November 2003 | Publication | The first of three books published in quick succession after King's near-fatal road accident in 1999, and the one that signalled the series was finally heading for its conclusion. Nominated for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 2004. Reception was generally strong, with reviewers praising the richly drawn community of the Calla and the extended Father Callahan backstory, though some found the pace uneven and the metafictional elements - King himself beginning to appear as a presence in the narrative - jarring. The simultaneous announcement that Song of Susannah and The Dark Tower would follow within months was met with considerable excitement from a fanbase that had waited years between instalments. |
