Description

King downplays his magnum opus, The Dark Tower: “It is a fantasy novel set in a fantasy world…I am only telling you this because the story may not be exactly what you have come to expect of me.”

Best known for his bestselling horror novels. He has also written stories outside the horror genre, including the novella collection Different Seasons, The Green Mile, The Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, Hearts in Atlantis and his magnum opus The Dark Tower series. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, May 4, 1984. Letter to a Danish fan seeking a copy of The Dark Tower. In part, “Because of all the requests for, and questions about The Dark Tower, I have given Don Grant the go ahead to print another 10,000 copies…I suggest you do this: write Donald M. Grant, Publisher, West Kingston, RI…a letter requesting that he reserve a copy of this second edition for you, and include a photocopy of this letter with your request…One last thing. The Dark Tower was done as a limited edition because it was a story with limited appeal. It is a fantasy novel set in a fantasy world, and it is really only the long opening section of a much larger work that is still in progress. I am only telling you this because the story may not be exactly what you have come to expect of me.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition. R&R COA.
