Does Patrick Danville Come Up Again Dark Tower

I seem to remember a saying…

One near all practiced things…

Q 2

Something happens to them, I hear…

Picard 3

On an unrelated notation, do yous always feel like your life is on space repeat, and it seems like you lot are destined to keep repeating yourself, because you can never get it right?  And don't you just detest that?

Well, I digress, it seems…

Time to become dorsum on the field of study:  our favorite ka-tet!

Ka_tet_by_Cordania

And reunions…boy, practice I love reunions!

And did I tell you that bittersweet is 1 of my favorite flavors?  Obviously, or I wouldn't read the Nighttime Tower series so many times, and hope against hope that things will be dissimilar this time (even though I know they won't be).

And if insanity is the act of repeating the same human activity over and over again, and expecting different results…well then, I am a fucking loony, and proud of it, say thank ya!

And so yep, I have now completed my fifth re-read of this serial.  And still, the magic remains.  Nonetheless, I cry tears for all of those lost.  Nevertheless, I promise against hope, that things will be different, and I am still crushed when they are non.

But I think that this is why these books are magic:  they still invoke the same emotions in me, fifty-fifty after all of these years.  Manifestly, only magical books can practise that when you lot re-read them, right?

With that being said, here is my review of the final bit of magic, the final book in the series, simply titled The Dark Belfry.

Dark Tower 2


Synopsis

The Dark Tower begins where Song of Susannah left off:  Susannah and Mia are in a restaurant known every bit The Dixie Squealer and are preparing to give nascency to Mia'southward un-human babe.  Jake and Pere Callahan take arrived at the Dixie Pig and are desperately searching for Susannah in a futile endeavor to rescue her.  Roland and Eddie are all the same stranded in 1977 Maine and attempting to return to Mid-Earth and then that the quest may be connected.

Mia begins to go into labor to deliver her babe, and Susannah plots to escape her prison house so that she may be reunited with her friends.  Mia delivers her baby, who is named Mordred, relatively quickly.  Mia is charmed when the babe is built-in, merely that is short-lived once the baby (who is clearly not human), changes into a spider and devours Mia.  Susannah is able to steal the gun of one of the Depression Men who was nowadays at the commitment of Mordred.  Susannah shoots and kills all of the Depression Men present in the delivery room.  Susannah likewise shoots Mordred, but Mordred escapes, with only one spider leg shot off by Susannah.

Jake and Begetter Callahan make their way toward the delivery room, but are accosted by Low Men and vampires.  Jake receives a telepathic message from Roland and Eddie via Father Callahan ordering him to move on alee.  Father Callahan stays behind and battles the vampires.  Realizing that he is outnumbered, Begetter Callahan commits suicide to avoid being transformed into a vampire, and therefore eternal damnation.

Callahan 1

Still stranded in 1977 Maine, Roland and Eddie agree that they must seek help, and that John Cullum would be the human for the job.  It turns out that Cullum has not left town, equally Eddie is able to accomplish him by telephone.  Roland and Eddie come across with Cullum, and tell him their tale.  Cullum agrees to meet with Susannah'southward godfather, Moses Carver, and Aaron Deepneau, and then that they may form the Tet Corporation.   Roland gives Cullum Aunt Talitha'due south cross, and so that he may exist able to identify himself to Carver and Deepenau.  The purpose of the Tet Corporation will be two-fold:  to protect Stephen King and to sabotage Sombra Corporation whenever possible. Roland and Eddie and so make their way back to the woods in Lovell, and are teleported to Fedic where they attempt to reunite with Jake, Oy and Susannah.

Jake searches for Susannah, and discovers her in the Dixie Pig.  Jake encounters a mind trap which gives life to his fears.  However, Jake switches bodies with Oy, and is able to avert this trap and defeat the Low Men.  Jake is then reunited with Susannah, and later Roland and Eddie.  The ka-tet determines that they must travel through one of the cross-dimensional doors located in Fedic, so that they may return to Mid-World and resume their quest.

Mordred, in the meantime, has been growing at a rapid rate, and spying on Roland and his friends while hiding in Fedic.  Mordred encounters Randall Flagg, who attempts to woo Mordred to his side.  Mordred sees through Flagg's trickery, and immediately kills Flagg, later eating the body for nourishment.  Mordred is able to transform into a spider, but discovers he needs more nourishment that what he currently receives in order to attain this chore.

Roland and his friends cross over to Thunderclap, and are then teleported to Devar-Toi, which is a compound occupied past Breakers, who are psychics recruited by the Reddish King.  The Carmine Rex and his Low Men use the Breakers to destroy the Beams that concur the Tower together.  The ka-tet meets a man named Ted Brautigan, along with Ted'south friend Dinky Earnshaw.  Ted and Dinky also have another friend named Stanley, who does non speak but is able to use his telepathic powers to communicate.  Stanley also possesses the power to teleport, and was able to send Ted on a journey to some other earth.  We learn that Stanley is actually Roland's old friend Sheemie Ruiz, who Roland met during his time in Meijis.

Sheemie 2

Roland and his friends then watch videotapes narrated by Ted Brautigan, and learn the story of how Ted became a Billow, and of how Ted and his friends accept turned confronting their duties and wish to destroy Devar-Toi and stop the destruction of the Beams.  Roland and his friends meet with Ted, Dinky and Sheemie yet again, and brand plans for an attack on Devar-Toi.  Jake speaks with Roland, and experiences an uneasy feeling that Roland tells him is ka-shume, which usually signals a change in the dynamics of the ka-tet.  Roland also points out that Mordred has been following them, simply asks Jake to keep this information from Eddie and Susannah.

Mordred 1

The next day, the gunslingers mount an assail on Devar-Toi.  They are aided by some hidden bombs that were placed in various parts of Devar-Toi during the previous night past a spy.  The gunslingers are successful in their set on and are able to free the Breakers and stop the destruction of the Beams.

Tet 1

However, the assault comes at huge cost for Roland and his friends.  Once the attack is over and Roland his ka-tet are performing some last minute inspections for whatever remaining threats, Eddie is shot past one of the remaining taheen, Pimli Prentiss.  Unable to avoid the attack, the bullet proves to be fatal to Eddie, who eventually expires later that day.  Susannah, Roland, Jake and Oy are left grieving for their friend.  Before he dies, Eddie warns Jake about something or something named "Dandelo."  Eddie also names Roland his truthful father before he dies.

With the assistance of Sheemie, Roland, Jake and Oy travel to 1999 Maine to attempt to save the writer, Stephen King.  When they go far, the 24-hour interval is June 19th and Jake knows that fourth dimension is running short.  With the assistance of a woman they meet in a general store named Irene Tassenbaum, Roland and Jake are able to rails down Stephen Rex, who is taking his daily afternoon walk.  A beau named Bryan Smith is likewise driving a van on the aforementioned route equally King, and Male monarch volition be fatally struck down by Smith'due south van unless the gunslingers intervene.

Bryan Smith 1

Roland, Jake and Irene arbitrate just in time to save Stephen King.  However, this again comes at a cost for Roland, as Jake is hit by the van instead of Male monarch, and later on succumbs to his injuries.  Before he dies, Jake instructs Irene to accept Roland to New York City, so that he may meet with the members of the Tet Corporation and return to Mid-World.  Jake besides gives instructions to Oy, although neither Irene nor Roland hears these instructions.  Roland then buries Jake in the surrounding wood, saying a prayer for him.  Irene  tells Roland she will come back and plant something where Jake is buried.  Roland tells her that a rose would be appropriate.

Jake and Oy

Roland and Irene then brand their way to the Tet Corporation's headquarters, located at ii Hammarskjold Plaza.  The rose is also located at this address.  Roland meets Nancy Deepneau, who tells him that John Cullum and Aaron Deepneau have passed away, but Moses Carver is even so alive.  Roland as well speaks to Marian Carver, girl of Moses Carver, and learns a bit about the dealings of the Tet Corporation.  Roland is given a copy of Stephen Rex's book Insomnia, which Marian tells him may be important to his quest.  Marian also tells Roland that he must spotter out for someone named Patrick Danville, who is also a character in the book Indisposition.  Before Roland departs, the members of the Tet Corporation too give him two more gifts: a aureate watch which will keep time until Roland reaches the Tower, and Aunt Talitha's cross.  Roland is touched and grateful for these gifts.

Roland bids proficient-bye to Irene, who thanks him for the adventure, as her life has been irrevocably changed by her time with the gunslinger.   Roland gives her the copy of Insomnia, stating that information technology feels "tricky" to him. Roland and Oy then travel through the door in the Dixie Hog and reunite with Susannah in Fedic.  Susannah tells him that Ted, Dinky and a few other Breakers have traveled to Calla Bryn Sturgis to pay penance for what was done to the villagers' children, but that Sheemie has died from an untreated infection in his foot.  Roland, Susannah and Oy make plans to go along on their quest for the Dark Belfry.

Roland ,Susannah and Oy make their fashion out of the Dixie Sus scrofa and back to Mid-Globe.  On their way out, they discover paintings that credit the mysterious Patrick Danville as the artist.  Roland and Susannah also encounter a monster that is probably born of the To-Dash darkness and barely escape from the clutches of the animate being.

Le_Casse_Roi_Russe

In one case Roland, Susannah and Oy make their style to Fedic so that they may keep on their quest for the Dark Tower, the journey becomes fifty-fifty more arduous.  The only one equipped to handle the cold temperatures is Oy, and Roland and Susannah spend many uncomfortable days and nights wishing for warmer clothing and worrying how long their food supplies will last.  Susannah likewise notices an unusual pimple that has formed next to her mouth.  Roland also tells Susannah that they must check on the castle of the Crimson King, which Roland believes to exist abandoned, simply all the same may contain traps to finish Roland from continuing his quest.

CK 4

When Roland, Susannah and Oy finally reach Le Casse Roi Russe, or the Crimson Rex's castle, they encounter iii men who resemble Stephen Rex.  The creatures phone call themselves Feemalo, Fimalo and Fumalo (fee fi fo fum), and offer Roland and Susannah warm clothing and food.  The creature tries to convince Roland that he is an uffi, or shapeshifter.  All the same, Roland sees that this is a fox and refuses the offer.  The creatures endeavor to attack Roland, Susannah and Oy as they get out, but Roland and Susannah shoot Feemalo and Fumolo.  Roland allows Fimalo to live, and finds out that he is really a man named Rando Thoughtful.  Thoughtful has used a trick, or glammer, to endeavour to convince Roland that he was a shape-shifter, but is really a dying erstwhile man.  Roland, Susannah and Oy exit the castle and go on on their quest.  Rando Thoughtful stays behind, simply is later on attacked and eaten past Mordred, who is still post-obit Roland and Susannah, plotting his revenge.

Rando Thoughtful 1

Roland and Susannah's luck begins to modify once they leave the castle of the Carmine Rex and continue on their quest.  They are able to hunt deer, which provides them food and warm habiliment.  They are also able to finally build a fire so that they tin stay warm.  However, Susannah continues to worry near the pimple by her mouth, which has not gone away.

Roland, Susannah and Oy happen upon a business firm that appears to exist inhabited when they draw closer to Empathica.  Their supposition proves correct, every bit the business firm is inhabited past an erstwhile man named Joe Collins and his geriatric horse, Lippy.  Collins offers them his hospitality, giving them a hot meal and shelter from the snowfall.  Collins also begins to tell them how he came to Mid-World, and virtually his old life as a comedian, even telling some of his old jokes.

Dandelo 1

While Susannah and Roland are being entertained by Collins and his stand-up comedy routine, Susannah herself begins to think that something is wrong.  Susannah then accidentally ruptures the pimple on her face and it begins to bleed.  Susannah retreats to the bathroom to make clean up the wound, and finds a note from Stephen King, who is repaying Roland and Jake from saving his life.  Susannah deduces that Joe Collins and Dandelo are one in the same, and she and Roland dispose of Collins, stripping away his glammer.  Earlier he dies, Dandelo is revealed to be a creature with insectoid characteristics.

Dandelo 2

Roland and Susannah quickly notice that Dandelo had kept a prisoner in his hut, and that prisoner turns out to be none other than Patrick Danville, a beau is approximately 16 or 17 years old.  Susannah rescues Patrick from his prison in Dandelo's basement, and acquire of his captivity.  Susannah deduces that Dandelo was a creature who fed off from human emotions, and that Patrick was his chief source of fuel, although Dandelo fed from others unfortunate enough to come across his dwelling.  Susannah likewise discovers that Dandelo must accept tired of Patrick's spoken language at some signal, for he had removed the boy'south tongue.  Roland, Susannah, Patrick and Oy accept shelter in Dandelo'southward barn for a few days, and so that Patrick can regain his strength. Roland comes beyond Lippy and puts the creature out of her misery. They also come up beyond a robot that calls itself Stuttering Beak (due to a defect in its programming) that was Dandelo'south reluctant servant.  Roland suggests that the robot ready the stutter, and the robot happily obliges.  Neb then relates more of the story to Roland and Susannah, and assists them with obtaining provisions to last them the remainder of their journey.

Patrick Danville 1

One time Roland and his friends exit Dandelo'south cottage, Mordred makes an appearance.  Mordred eats the remains of the dead Lippy for nourishment, which will later prove to be a mistake.  Mordred is notwithstanding bent on taking vengeance on all of Roland'southward friends, only especially Roland himself.

In the final weeks of Roland's quest for the Tower, Susannah begins to realize that her time in his earth is drawing to an end.  Susannah becomes prone to bouts of uncontrollable weeping, and tries to hibernate this from Roland and the others.  She also begins to dream of Jake and Eddie and feels that they are trying to transport her a message, but does not know what they are trying to tell her.  Suannah also sees a mysterious door in her dreams.  The pimple by her rima oris continues to cause her pain.

Susannah comes to realizes that Patrick's artistic talents have the ability to change reality.  This is confirmed when Patrick draws a picture of her, and uses the eraser to remove the pimple by her rima oris.  One time the pimple is removed past the eraser, it vanishes from Susannah'south face.  Susannah tells Patrick he must depict the Unfound Door that she sees in her dreams, and Patrick obliges.

unfound door 1

Susannah asks Oy and Jake if they wish to travel through the door with her, but both decline.  Roland tries to persuade Susannah to stay in Mid-World, but she declines.  Susannah bids Roland, Patrick and Oy goodbye, and travels through the door to the alternate reality she sees in her dreams.

In the meantime, Mordred is still post-obit Roland, waiting to set on.  Mordred has as well contracted food poisoning from consuming the remains of Lippy, and his strength has been diminished considerably.  However, Mordred is still adamant to seek revenge on Roland.

Mordred closes in on Roland, Patrick and Oy one night as Roland takes residual and leaves Patrick on night sentinel.  Mordred attempts to attack Roland, but is stopped past Oy.  Oy puts up a brave fight, simply loses his life at the hands of Mordred.  Roland dispatches Mordred with bullets from his gun.  Saddened, Roland thanks Oy for his sacrifice.  Oy speaks for the showtime fourth dimension in weeks, saying Roland'south name, and so passes on.

Oy 1

Roland mourns Oy, but continues to make his way to the Tower with Patrick.  One time Roland and Patrick draw closer to the Can'-Ka No Rey (the field of roses that surrounds the Tower), they run into the Ruby-red Rex, who has gone mad.  The Crimson King torments Roland and Patrick, throwing sneetches (weapons similar to paw grenades) at them.  Roland tells Patrick that he must describe the Cherry-red King, and then erase him out of existence.  Once again, Patrick obliges, using crushed rose petals and Roland's blood to achieve the ruby eyes that define the Crimson Male monarch.  Patrick then uses his eraser, erasing the Cerise King out of existence, although the eyes remain.  Roland so sends Patrick back to the robot Stuttering Nib, telling him to find a door that will accept him back to a version of America, where he volition exist a famous artist.

Tower 6

Roland then makes his fashion to the Tower, calling out the names of all his friends and loved ones who accept been sacrificed in the name of his quest.

Nosotros also learn that Susannah has traveled to an alternating reality through the door that Patrick drew for her, and has met a human named Eddie Toren, and his brother Jake Toren.  In other words, she has met the Twinners of Eddie and Jake, and found a world shut enough to her own world, and so that any differences volition seem pocket-sized.  Eddie tells her that the proper name "Toren" means tower in German language.  It is implied that the iii of them, along with a version of Oy, live out the remainder of their days in happiness.

Roland approaches the Tower and lays down his gun and Aunt Talitha's cross.  The door opens, and Roland enters, climbing the stairs to the peak of the Tower.  Each fourth dimension Roland comes to a room, he relives certain events in his life, such as his exam to become a gunslinger.

At concluding, Roland reaches the top of the Tower, and opens a door with his name on information technology.  Dismayed, he finds himself in the desert at the start of the story, chasing a man in black.  Roland realizes that he has repeated his quest so many times, only to never find redemption.  Even so, the memories begin to fade and Roland awakes, thinking that he has dreamed of the Tower yet over again.  Roland resumes his quest, seeking the man in blackness, who may be able to pb him to the Tower.  Simply this time, he has the Horn of Eld in paw.  So there is promise, even for the likes of him.

Tower 11


The Dark Tower is a rainbow book.

Yeah, a rainbow book.  By this I mean it tin can make me laugh and cry, and sometimes even shout, in both frustration and triumph.  They say if you lot express joy and weep in the same solar day, you lot are having a rainbow mean solar day.  And so therefore, The Nighttime Tower book is a rainbow book.

And I know it may exist hard to believe, but The Night Tower contains enough of humor (hence the laughter office).  One of my favorite parts is when Jake and Oy switch bodies, and Jake is reminded of a picture with dinosaurs that he saw equally a kid and was frightened of.  Tyranno-sorbets wrecks?The Joker Cesar Romero coming to the rescue?  Just some very funny imagery, and the humor was much needed, given the seriousness of the book.

Maerlyn's rainbow

And speaking of seriousness…

Oh, the feelsies…

There are more feels in The Dark Tower than in that location were when I was in the back seat of my ex'south auto…oh expect, never mind…unwanted imagery, stage right!

But seriously…

All.  The.  Feels.

The reunion of the tet, particularly when Eddie and Susannah reunite.

Roland being reunited with Sheemie, and telling Sheemie that he was not to arraign for Susan Delgado's death, and also telling Sheemie what a hero he was.

The death of Pere Callahan, who committed suicide to avert eternal damnation, and essentially sacrificing himself for Jake.

sparkly vampire 1

And the deaths…

I know you need pelting in order to take a rainbow, simply when it rains in The Night Tower, it pours…

Jake death

Eddie Dean.  When he died on my first journey, I cried.  No, actually, I CRIED.  When y'all CRY, equally opposed to crying, its not pretty.  No, you are a mess of snot and tears, both of which run into your mouth.  And its not repose either…permit the honking commence!  And hopefully, you lot similar the colors crimson and purple, since your confront will plow those colors…

Eddie 1

And it doesn't get any better after that.  No, not at all.  Peculiarly when Roland becomes adamant to sacrifice himself in Jake's place to relieve the wordslinger, but greedy old ka has other plans…

Roland 14

And Oy.  A truthful gunslinger, all he was missing was the guns (and opposable thumbs, for that matter).  Roland burial Oy, and thinking to himself that the grave was as well minor to incorporate the centre that Oy's body held…

Oy 1

So yes, keep the tissues on mitt.  Plenty of rainbows in this book, but the storms needed to produce them are massive…

ugly cry

Another favorite role of my book was…you lot guessed it..another reunion!  I speak of the reunion at the terminate of the volume, when Susannah meets Eddie and Jake's Twinners, and falls in love with Eddie all over once more…

Yes, this is one of my favorite parts.  However, more than a few CR's (Constant Readers, for the uninitiated), would beg to defer on this ane…

I have heard people telephone call Susannah a coward for exiting the quest and "abandoning" Roland…

Yes, a coward!

You lot know, the adult female who was raped by a demon in the proper name of bringing Jake over to Mid-World, in a tearing birth for the ages.

Jake and the oracle

The woman who had to acquit the inhuman fruits of that rape, and who was forced to share her head with a demon who would stop at nothing to hear someone something call her "mommy."

Mordred 3

The woman who lost her husband.  And who then lost her spiritual son (Jake) not long after…

But still, she stuck with Roland, although nearly everything she held dearest had been sacrificed in the proper noun of his Tower…

Merely Susannah, evidently, did not belong in Mid-World…ka had other plans for her.  And ka let her know this, in the manner of any ugly pimple that no amount of Clearasil could always accept care of.

In other words, I believe that the ugly pimple was Susannah'south signal to leave Mid-World.  And when she couldn't grasp that, she was sent dreams.  So Patrick Danville, who finally drew her out of Mid-Globe, in much the aforementioned way she had been drawn in:  a magical door.

DT door 1

And Susannah did what any sane person would practice:  she got out of dodge.  Subsequently all, when ka speaks to you lot that loudly, yous listen.  Otherwise, the consequences are not pretty.

Susannah 2

"The man in black fled beyond the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

The in a higher place line is (rightfully) considered one of the greatest opening lines in literature.  E'er.

Roland and Flagg

And its one of the most frustrating ending lines.  Ever.

Well, at least in some circles…

Simply those are circles I do not visit.

The ending to The Night Belfry is perfect.  In that location are no other words for it.

Well, heartbreaking mayhap.  Inexplainable.  Shocking.  Sad.  And and so you want to throw your book across the room.

That last part is a judgement, not a word.  Simply you get my migrate.

This does not change anything, however.  The ending to The Nighttime Tower is nonetheless perfect.  It is perfect considering it is the merely catastrophe.

Information technology is perfect because it is right catastrophe.

It is perfect considering of its implications.

The implication that the journeying never ends, that the journey will continue no matter what.

The implication that hell is repetition.

Tower 3

The implication that the more than things alter, the more they stay the aforementioned.  Roland is a great case of this, although ka has other ideas and forces him to change.  Or else.

And there is the implication that in that location is always the possibility of redemption.  Roland has washed some pretty awful (although pretty understandable things).  Simply if anyone should exist damned for eternity, it would be Roland.  But maybe not.

Roland 10

This time, its dissimilar.  He remembered to pick up the horn, after all.  He never had before.  And nothing is so small that it tin can't brand a big difference.  So Roland is doomed to echo his quest nevertheless again…

But possibly, he can get it correct this fourth dimension.  This fourth dimension it will be different.  He has been given what he did non accept before:  The Horn ofEld.

And picayune things tin change everything.  So peradventure this little affair is the goad, and Roland will finally detect some peace.  He tin can finally rest, and volition no longer be doomed.

Peradventure.

Roland and horn 1


This New year's day's Twenty-four hours, I had made a New Year's resolution, for the get-go fourth dimension in about…oh…12 trillion years (kidding, kidding).

Commonly, I don't make those.  I am kind of like this guy, and I retrieve I am pretty crawly…

Calvin and Hobbes

But making this New Yr'due south resolution is one of the best things I have always done for myself.

Because of this resolution, I have (yet again) taken the astonishing journey otherwise known as the Dark Tower series.

I have become reacquainted with old friends, and have even made some new ones forth the manner.  I have institute buried treasure that had been long forgotten, until now.  Often, I felt similar I was coming abode after a long journey, and was welcomed back with loving artillery.  In that location is no better feeling than coming habitation after a long journeying, and discovering everything is where you left information technology, merely still feels new anyhow.

And yeah, there was heartbreak.  Part of me hoped things would be different this time, merely deep down, I knew they wouldn't exist.  Merely I notwithstanding hoped anyway…to paraphrase a certain King character:  hope is a adept thing, and no skillful thing ever dies.

Red 1

Once again, similar Roland, I have learned lessons.  I have learned how power love and friendship are, and how hard it is to exist without them.  I accept learned non to shed my humanity, no matter how lofty my goals may be.

And I take learned that in that location is e'er the possibility of redemption, no matter what.  Similar Roland, I am not above it.  And like Roland, all of us tin pick up our horn, and that no human activity is too simple to not have enormous ramifications somewhere downward the road.  Sometimes, a small-scale modify is all it takes.

So, I bid Roland and his friends farewell.  But its non really a goodbye, because I know that somewhere, the ka-tet and their quest all the same lives, both of which are skillful things, and good things never die.

Connections

And just for the fun of it, here we go once more with the connections:

-One of the most obvious connections in The Night Tower is the one to Insomnia.  Not only is the book Insomnia mentioned and a copy given to Roland, Patrick Danville is also a character in the same book.  In the volume Insomnia, Ralph Roberts must save the life of Patrick Danville, who will be important to someone, and that someone is probably Roland Deschain.  Patrick Danville is also from Derry, Maine, another center for unusual activeness in the King universe.

Insomnia 4

–Ted Brautigan is also another major connection in The Dark Tower.  Ted Brautigan is a grapheme in the short story "Low Men in Yellow Coats," which is part of the collection Hearts in Atlantis.  In the story "Low Men in Yellow Coats", Ted mentions gunslingers to Bobby when he has slipped into a trance-like land.

Ted Brautigan 1

-Dandelo appears to be a Twinner of sorts to Pennywise the Clown from the book It.  Both are shapeshifters, and both feed off of human emotions (fear in particular).  Again, Patrick Danville is from Derry, where the events in It have identify.  It is possible that Dandelo was one of the offspring of Pennywise's eggs and that the Losers Gild did non destroy all of Pennywise's offspring.

It 3

-In the book Dreamcatcher, graffiti maxim "Pennywise lives" is discovered.  Dandelo may take been responsible for this graffiti, if he was indeed one of Pennywise'south offspring.

Pennywise 5

-Roland mentions the "doc bugs" when Jake is fighting the vampires.  The "md bugs" are also mentioned in the short story "The Piffling Sisters of Eluria", which is role of the collection Everything'due south Eventual.

Everything's Eventual 1

–Dinky Earnshaw is the chief character in the championship story in the collection Everything's Eventual.  Dinky also knows someone by the name of Skipper Brautigan, who was a friend of Henry Dean.  This implies that Eddie and Dinky grew upward in the same neighborhood, and may have really met at some betoken before their encounter in Mid-World.

Dinky

-Susannah recalls getting her kickoff menstrual menstruum in gym class and having tampons thrown at her by the other girls.  This is exactly what happens to Carrie White in the volume Carrie.

carrie-1

-Randall Flagg resurfaces again in The Dark Tower.  Flagg is a graphic symbol in several other King works, including The Stand up, The Eyes of the Dragon and Hearts in Atlantis.

Eyes of the Dragon 1

-Randall Flagg recalls a boondocks by the name of French Landing, located in Wisconsin.  Flagg also recalls the hats that are worn by the Breakers and Low Men are like to the hats worn by Tyler Marshall.  French Landing is the town and Tyler Marshall is a character in the book Black House.

gorg_and_mr_munshun

-Sheemie'south power to teleport, and his physical symptoms that he experiences afterward, are similar to the graphic symbol Vic'south ailments in the book NOS4A2, past Joe Hill.  Vic also possesses an power to teleport, although her ability is non nearly every bit strong equally Sheemie's.

Charlie Manx 1

-Patrick Danville's artistic ability is similar to Edgar Freemantle'south artistic power in the volume Duma Key.
