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.

We discuss some magical business as well as read one of the best quotes from the book so far.
We're also chasing any tangent that pops up as we're very ready to be done in Derry. Its a very depressing place...

Its Kat's birthday! Stepping her one day closer to becoming the hag in the woods she aspires to be. Lend us you ear as a gift. We're continuing to read It! Finishing off Part 2: Chapters 8-9, and Interlude 2.
We're just holding on for one more day and really want an ice cream cone in this snow storm thanks to this section of the book.
Please take care of yourselves! The follo...
We are continuing to read It and hearing a whole lot about the fifth grade and the stupid things we believed and did around that age ourselves. The adventures of childhood are magical until the lens of being an adult lays upon them and goes "wtf was I thinking???".
So our Many Constant Lobsters, join us as we read the first half of Part 2 of It, Chapters 4-7.
Please take care of y...

We finish up Chapter 4 The Slow Mutants and got SO close to the end of Chapter 5 The Gunslinger and the Man in Black before we hit another hard stopping reference.
In this episode we share stories of things found, Kat's love of Twitch drag queen streamer Leidy Lei, and the effects of giant hamster balls on Middle Earth.
We do manage to finally reach the tarot reading in The Gunslinge...
We survived The Mist...
Then for some stupid reason we decided to read the story?
And of course you then must follow it with another viewing of the freaking Mist...
Well if you couldn't tell we're watching Frank Darabont's 2007 Film The Mist.
Similar to Misery if you hit play at the right moment we can totally watch the movie "together" and our ridiculous...
Well hell... here we are again.
We didn't make it to the end of The Gunslinger. We were so close too! But the King-verse had other plans for us.
Chapter 5: The Gunslinger and The Man in Black contained the reference to It and The Stand mid-stanza 7.
Episode 12 will cover what we were able to read through of Chapter 5 since it was most of it.

The Mist... what can we say about The Mist? Well really we spend some of this episode trying to avoid talking about The Mist... Hear about Kat's love for Bowling for Soup, Taryn's distaste for the ending of The Mist film, and how Reagan ruined everything.
But yea we do also go over the short story, The Mist.
Content warnings: death, violence, gore, infidelity, blood, suicide, sexu...
We're reeking of fear as our reading journey has been interrupted. While we wanted to finish off The Gunslinger, The King-verse had other plans. We made it through to about half of Stanza 12 of Chapter 4: The Slow Mutants before we hit a reference and had to stop.
This episode we do discuss what we made it through of The Slow Mutants. Last episode's card was right... Disappointment was in ...
A quick Interlude... We hit a snag in our reading of The Gunslinger Chapter 4: The Slow Mutants. Details inside but basically we didn't make it through the end of The Gunslinger stopping in the middle of Stanza 12 of Chapter 4.

Episode 9!!!
We got pocket souls, flashbacks, and someone will build Roland up to a proper man. We're reading Chapters 2 and 3 of The Gunslinger!
This was a doozy to edit as it is our longest regular episode. Also our deepest apologies we were experiencing some echo through parts of this which we were unable to remove.
Content Warnings: Child death, gun violence, animal death...
We have finally resumed fleeing across the desert or maybe we're following? Whatever. We're back in the desert with The Gunslinger: Chapter 1 this episode! We know a little more about The Man In Black and Taryn comes face to face with the tastes of their teenage self.
Come join us as we finally get back to the central hub that is the first Dark Tower book.
Content Warnings: Child...
Hey all you cockadoodie dirty birds! We're watching Misery. No seriously thats all we're doing this Interlude. If you hit play at the right time you can watch it with us and it'll be like we're totally there ruining your movie viewing experience!

This is the end of Misery!
Not in life but the book. Sorry... life is still what it is.
Full disclosure, we were very full of beans this episode. Lots of giggles, lots of nonsense, and a ridiculous amount of talk about some shows we love on Max.
Content Warnings: Murder & suicide
