King has been writing the Dark Tower over the course of thirty+ years, and it's an epic I would describe as sort of a dark fantasy version of <i>Lord of the Rings</i>, only more enjoyable to read (frankly, I find Tolkien's writing style somewhat boring). A good number of his books have ties to the Dark Tower, and I hope to read a few of those now.
<i>The Talisman</i> and it's sequel, <i>The Black House</i>, have a lot of ties with The Dark Tower. Both are excellent.
