Summary Stephen King's The Dark Tower series is his magnum opus, but with such a sprawling series of novels and multiple short stories across decades, it can be difficult to know the best reading order for those just jumping in. The Dark Tower and Stephen King's macroverse, is sprawling and vast.
Halfway through the series, there's a bit of a jump, as the fourth book, Wizard and Glass, is a story within a story, with the inner story being one long flashback to Roland's teenage years. The year after, King also published "The Little Sisters of Eluria" in the anthology Legends before later putting it in his collection Everything's Eventual in 2002.
Those companions are Eddie Dean, a heroin junkie from 1980s New York City, who is behind the door labeled "The Prisoner." Behind the door labeled "The Lady of Shadows" is Odetta Holmes/Detta Walker, later known as Susannah Dean, a woman with dissociative identity disorder thanks to a traumatic childhood incident. Later the group will include Jake, Oy, and, for a brief time, Father Callahan from 'Salem's Lot.
The Little Sisters Of Eluria A Second Story Set In The Past In a slight detour from the main book series, the short story/novella "The Little Sisters of Eluria" was published in the 1998 collection Everything's Eventual. Apparently, King was in a backward-looking frame of mind in those years, as it's the second entry in the Dark Tower universe to tell a story set in the past.
Song Of Susannah The Timeline Starts Getting Quite Meta Song of Susannah, the sixth book in the main Dark Tower series, is when things start getting really meta and complicated. Unsurprisingly, Song of Susannah is also the book in which most people, if they're going to, jump off the Dark Tower series and abandon it. The reason it's so meta is that it's the story in which Stephen King becomes a character in his own story – not as an avatar, or a surrogate, but as himself.
