    Mike - I just finished King's book 'On Writing', which was excellent. I'd def recommend to anyone who wants to explore full or part time writing.

    Does it have a section "How to Flub the Ending to your Novel" ??? :)

    Funny, you mention that since I considered the ending the Stand and others to be disappointing. He talked a lot about writing the Stand, but never mentioned the sucky ending, but he did mention how he came to write that ending and what it meant to him. Which cleared it up a little.

    Do you know if this is just a graphic interpretation of the novel or does it continue or add to the story?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    No idea...I would THINK it's a graphic interpretation of it...with likely some new things thrown in?

    I ask only because the Dark Tower, from what I understand, was kind of a prequel, so I thought perhaps the Stand series would also be a prequel or perhaps "side stories" that we heard about but didn't see. I'll have to pick it up!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Well, the first Dark Tower one right now is telling the story of how he
    became a Gunslinger, which was already in one of those books King wrote.
    Granted, I don't think ALL of it was in there, but the first few chapters I
    remember from the book.

    I'm not sure where it leads though, it may not tell the entire story from
    the books, you are right.

    I haven't picked up Dark Tower yet because I want to read the novels first... I picked up the Stand because I heard that the comics might happen, hopefully I'll be done with it by the time the comics hit the stands.

    Unsatisfying ending
