it was amazing
bookshelves: 2019, library, stephen-king, supernatural, western, series, graphic-novel, horror

This was a very good adaptation of the short story from King's collection Everything's Eventual. At times I thought I was going to go 4 stars (I didn't really get into it until about halfway through), but it ended at a full 5 stars.



The story of the Little Sisters is very creepy and mysterious. Also, it's perfect transition story between Roland's early life in Gilead and the Dark Tower stories from the novels. As the world decays around Roland and unknown evil begins seeping in, Roland must find inner strength and divine intervention to continue his quest toward the elusive Tower.



The art in this volume is fabulous. From beauty to absolutely terrifying images from the bowels of hell itself - all of it is music for the eyes. These are the images that dreams and nightmares are made of.



I have heard rumors that the graphic novel adaptations of The Dark Tower story begin to stumble as they move farther along. So far I am not seeing it - and will gladly continue this awesome series!

Sud666 "Everythings Eventual" eh? I'm not familiar with that one....is it in one of his short story collections? It has to do with vampires? Just curious as I intend to hunt it down. I really enjoyed this volume as well.

Thanks, Jen! (And sorry I am not seeing this comment until now)

I agree so much that the comics so far have captured the world of The Gunslinger better than I could have ever hoped for.

Yes, Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales is a collection of short stories - it has a little bit of Everything! (See what I did there? 😄)
