Summary
Summary
A USA Today bestseller
A 2003 Bram Stoker Award Nominee
A 2004 Locus Award Nominee
Wolves of the Calla is the thrilling fifth book in Stephen King’s Dark Tower series—a unique bestselling epic fantasy quest inspired many years ago by The Lord of the Rings.
In the extraordinary fifth novel in Stephen King’s remarkable fantasy epic, Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World. Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World’s borderlands.
Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community’s soul. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla-folken both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough.

—Locus

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Fans will delight not only in King’s continued gleeful intertwining of multiple genres but perhaps most of all in the return of ’Salem’s Lot’s Father Callahan…an essential addition to any library’s King collection.”
