The Lynch Pin

After the less than overwhelming success of "The Red Menace" and "Down in Heaven", I decided to come back to release one more, truly epic bait. Based upon Stephen King's magnum opus; "The Dark Tower". I spent a week writing it and, when finished, the bait's synopsis had reached over 4000 words. I knew that it was in my best interest to break the bait up into a four part series.

And so was born "The Gunslinger", "The Drawing of the Three", "The Wastelands", and "The Dark Tower". The story of one man's quest for redemption and the mysterious room atop The Dark Tower.

So far in the series, we have seen The Gunslinger battle against sub-races and travel through time. We will soon journey with him through The Waste Lands of a land once called York, lose the most important things in his life, and finally reach the rose covered landscape of The Dark Tower. All the while being watched closely by The Man in Black and The Crimson King.

I have to say that I'm surprised by the reactions toward The Dark Tower baits so far. It just proves to me that I am far better at writing non-baity stories and so I will stick with them. There has been a little bit of talk over David Lynch directing the movies though. Some people think he is wrong for it and other think he is perfect. I used Lynch because I think he's the only director who could create the same surreal, horrifying atmosphere of the books. Think of "The Dark Tower" as "El Topo" meets "Eraserhead".

"The Waste Lands" will be released this November and "The Dark Tower" will be reached in January.
