You can't define Roland's books by genre. Part literary, part horror, part mythos.  The longer you spend in his world, the more back stories, side stories, and complicated twists and turns emerge.

Alex said that very well, Roland, and I say, 'what he said'.

The more we learn about your characters, the better we can see the interconnections. Readers love that. I think Death in the House of Life is one of your best.

 

Here is a snippet of DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF LIFE:

 

SEVENTEEN:

WHAT GOD LEFT UNTOLD
 

 We live in an ocean and hours are the islands, linked in ways we cannot imagine while we are hopping one from the other.  It is only in looking back that we can see the path we took … and whether it was a wise one or not.
 

The Lakota call God the Great Mystery.  I do, too. I am a man or I once was.  What I am now is a mystery to me.  And maybe to the Great Mystery as well.
 

But men are creatures who tell stories. This is a gift from the Great Mystery, who spoke our species into being, but left the end of our story untold. Perhaps that is why the Lakota call Him The Great Mystery. 

 

Anyway, that mystery troubles us. How could it not? Without the final part, how are we supposed to make sense of all that went before: which is to say, our lives?
 

So we make stories of our own, in stumbling imitation of our Maker, hoping that we'll tell, by chance, what God left untold. And finishing our tale, come to understand why we were born. 

 

Maybe it will work.  Maybe not.  Only the Great Mystery knows, and He comes by His name naturally.
 

Ada Byron, Winston Churchill, and I stood studying the door to Room 333.  No matter how hard we stared, it didn’t tell us a thing.  Doors are like that.  You only learn by going through them.
 

“Should we knock, do you think?” whispered Churchill.
 

“I would have at first,” said Ada softly, “and it got me killed.”
 

Churchill studied Ada carefully and sighed.  Apparently, her face told him no more than had the door.   His first lesson in understanding women: don’t try.
