Description

Time for a side quest.


 


Yes, this is the Dark Tower Readalong… you are not mistaken. But there are other worlds, and other books, and some of them have to be read for the fullest, most satisfying experience of Stephen King’s great saga.


 


In this first (of what will be many) diversions from the Ka-Tet’s quest, Nat, Chris and I turn to The Stand – the titanic tale of two tribes going to war. It’s a big big book, so this had to be a two-part thing. Here in episode one, we introduce Stu, Frannie, Larry and Nick, and discuss all things phlegmy and flu-like, and hint at why this book plays its part in the Dark Tower.


 


Plus. Rick Astley. Just wait.


 


Part Two is out next week, or available immediately on Patreon.


M-O-O-N, that spells thank you, to anyone who signs up and supports the show. Laws yes!


 


Enjoy!
