Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King

Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, sets out in pursuit of the Man in Black into a desolate world which frighteningly echos our own.

In his first step towards the powerful and mysterious Dark Tower, Roland encounters an alluring woman named Alice and begins a friendship with Jake, a Kid from New York. Faced with an agonising choice, Roland is torn between damnation and salvation as he determines to find out what the Man in Black knows.

Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter...

And the tower is closer...
