All seven numbered volumes of the Dark Tower series and also THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA which contains the title novella, which is an early adventure of Roland Deschain, The Gunslinger and an expanded version of the first novel, THE GUNSLINGER. All volumes have matching numbers. "Different in tone from most of King's work - and perhaps more demandingly inventive than usual - these have an undeniable mythic charge, partly because of the alienated-adolescent theme that runs through them. As the series continued, it increasingly took on a quest structure typical of - and inhabited a landscape whose metaphysical pathos also evokes - pure Fantasy, though Post-Holocaust imagery also pervades the tale, and a self-aware AI is a major threat to the protagonists." - SFE online. Basis for a recent feature film and there is, according to the trade a television series, in the works. Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror 6-194. Fine copies in fine dust jackets and cloth slipcases, most all volumes unopened and still in shrinkwrap. (Note: extra shipping costs for the set). (22651)
