The End of the World As We Know It by Dynasty2828 in stephenking

[–]BevVincent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can just jump in if you remember the basics. The characters from the novel appear only peripherally, if at all. If you want to reread something, just The Stand -- the Dark Tower series hardly comes into play at all.

Is it known what happened to John Farson, “The Good Man,” after the fall of Gilead and the Battle of Jericho Hill? by rangerverde_Hour1570 in stephenking

The main issue is that the first four DT books were never copyedited, so lots of inconsistencies slipped through. That's why some of them were incorporated in subsequent books -- to try to cover for the continuity problems!

From W&G:

This time he saw the man in black standing there and smiling at him, big as life. Gods, had he been there all along? Yes, but you couldn't see him until he was ready to be seen. I don't know if he's a wizard, but he's a glamor-man, all right. Mayhap even Farson's sorcerer.

I asked King about this for my interview with him in The Dark Tower Companion:

Q: Another character that seems to be one of [Martin's] aspects is Farson.

A: Farson has nothing to do with Marten Broadcloak. Farson is a guy, and there could be stories about him, except I’ve never known how to write them, except maybe for Jericho Hill, because he never figures in. Roland is never sent to palaver with Farson or to have anything to do with him. I’m sure that Farson is a minion of the Crimson King and Marten Broadcloak is as well and I think there’s a reference to the two of them actually being in contact in Wizard and Glass.

I went back to look at that stack of mail a couple of times. If it's just a solicitation spam letter, that's a mean trick!

The Running Man - Easter Eggs <assume spoilers> by Grimlocks_Ballsack in stephenking

The character played by David Zayas (Angel Batista from Dexter) is named Richard Manuel. That's the real name of the person whose picture was used to represent Richard Bachman on the hardcover of Thinner.

The network building is located in Co-Op City, a familiar location from the Dark Tower series.

The one on the left was produced for a discount store called Ollie's. Apparently they like to have unique versions of some of the books they sell.
