'At the age of 19 Stephen decided he would like to write an epic similar to The Lord of the Rings. The 'spaghetti Westerns' of that time [specifically The Good, the Bad and the Ugly] and a poem written by Robert Browning, 'Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came', became the inspiration for his magnum opus. The series written and published separately over a period of 22 years consists of eight books, including The Wind Through the Keyhole, and the short story, 'The Little Sisters of Eluria' published in his collection, EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL.'From the author's website.
In their continuing journey toward the Dark Tower, Roland and his KA-TET--three twentieth-century New Yorkers, now gunslingers--encounter a peaceful village, Calla Bryn Sturgis, which is suffering attacks on its children by violent robotic wolves. Through sinister understatement, George Guidall conveys the horror of the wolves and the growing tension of the group's arrival at their destination. Guidall shows startling ineptitude for the protagonist's Maine accent but invests the Calla people with a language all their own, identifiable and consistent throughout the production. His characterization of series character Susannah Dean somewhat reprises Frank Muller's excellent portrayal, but, for the most part, Guidall underplays vocal distinctions among the characters.
