Episode 41-The Gunslinger (Part Two)

from Stephen Kingcast · host Constant Reader

In this week's episode, I continue my analysis of Stephen King's first entry into the world The Dark Tower, The Gunslinger.  Last week, in Part One, I tried to remain as spoiler-free as possible. This week, however, I place The Gunslinger into the context of the greater series and examine how well it holds up against the later novels, so this episode is chock-full of spoilers.  Warning: Because of spoilers, if you have not finished The Dark Tower series, you should skip this week's episode!  Join our ka-tet as we make our way across the desert, into the mountains in our quest to reach The Dark Tower. Will we reach it? Let's find out together! As always, write in at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.
