Introduction
The Dark Tower series is a completed collection of seven books authored by best-seller Stephen King. Though overall classified as fantasy, King implements his own unique twists by complementing the genre with horror, western, and science fiction. The books take place in All-World, revolving around the quest of gunslinger Roland for the nexus of all universes--The Dark Tower.
A great many of Stephen King's separate works allude to the DT series; some said allusions are obvious, others not so obvious.
This lens contains mild spoilers, referencing the characters of the Dark Tower.
So, go on... if it do ya fine.

- Truly an inspirational lens you have here. I've been "saving up" finishing the last three dark tower books (in case SK really does retire, I'd still have something fresh to read). Now I can't wait! Thanks, Joan (and Quimby)

- The classification you're looking for is "magical realism", as popularised by writers like Salman Rushdie. ;-)

This is a gripping series that deviates from the old, worn, much-too-crowded path of stereotypical fantasy.
