First time I read it I hit "And they never saw Stu Redman again." I was f'ing BROKEN.
But good news, friend, you're ready for the Dark Tower books. :)
😭 I read that part like 5 times. I felt darkness in that sentence. I have the whole dark tower series, but have been hesitant to read it for some reason.
The important thing to remember is that the first book was written as separate short stories. It was never intended as a novel, novel. I think a lot of people have trouble with it because of that. Don't think of them as chapters in a book, think of them as separate stories.
Little Sisters of Eluria fits in here as well, also a separate story.
Ha! So, those stories have nothing to do with each other? If so, how's that going to connect to the following books?
Each story is pretty much self contained, there is a certain progression from one to the next, but they were each written and published independently, then collected together as "The Gunslinger".
The rest of the books are actual novels.
Book 2 starts right where the last story in the Gunslinger ends and it's off to the races!
I see. Thank you
