Song of Susannah
Authors: Stephen King
PRAISE FOR STEPHEN KING’S
SONG OF SUSANNAH
THE DARK TOWER VI
“
The Dark Tower
series is King’s masterpiece.”
—
The Florida Times-Union
(Jacksonville)
“Equal parts Western, high fantasy, horror, and science fiction, the series is one of the wildest pastiches ever put between covers. All through the series there are references and tips of the hat to iconic works of pop culture, including J.R.R. Tolkien’s
Lord of the Rings
trilogy, films like
The Seven Samurai
or the spaghetti Westerns popularized by Clint Eastwood, and even L. Frank Baum’s
Oz
books. . . . King brilliantly juggles all the plot elements.”
—The Denver Post
“The suspense master takes readers right over the edge.”
—
Bangor Daily News
“An archetypal quest fantasy distinguished by its uniquely Western flavor, its emotional complexity and its sheer imaginative reach . . . brilliantly rendered . . . King holds it all together through sheer narrative muscle and his absolute commitment to his slowly unfolding—and deeply personal—vision.”
—
The Washington Post
“He’s done it again. . . . Stephen King is no ordinary wordsmith.”
—
Philadelphia Inquirer
The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah

DREAMCATCHER
“A vigorously told, increasingly trippy story [written] with imaginative gusto. . . . King writes more fluently than ever . . . with simple, unexpected grace.”
—The New York Times
“A tour de force . . . [with] more passages of power and imagination than some writers produce in a lifetime . . . thrilling and spectacular. . . . [An] entertaining must-read.”
—Chicago Tribune
“May be the best alien invasion story since Wells’s
The War of the Worlds
.”
—Booklist
HEARTS IN ATLANTIS
“This is wonderful fiction. . . . [King’s] take on the ’60s—including the effects of Vietnam—is scarily accurate.”
—Entertainment Weekly

—People
“A spellbinding piece of literature.”

I’ve seen trouble all my days
All through the world I’m bound to ramble
I have no friends to show my way . . .”
