Many Constant Worlds
Reading through The Dark Tower series by Stephen King in the most chaotic way we could think of. Many Constant Worlds is not a spoiler free journey. While we are not aiming to spoil any of The Dark Tower or other Stephen King novels, part of our approach to reading these books may require us to tap into our foggy but possibly accurate knowledge of other related things from King books, movies, and misc knowledge. If you wish to remain pure for your first journey without the corruption of our Constant analyzing we understand if you have to go without us but we hope you will join us another day.
