[GALLERY] Bev Vincent Signs "Road To The Dark Tower" in Portland, ME
Bev VincentOn October 17, author and Stephen King expert Bev Vincent rolled into Portland, Maine, to sign copies of his new non-fiction book, "The Road To The Dark Tower", at Books, Etc.

Bev describes the book best on his website:

The Road To The Dark Tower"With the full cooperation of Stephen King himself, The Road to the Dark Tower examines the epic journey of the author, a quest that undoubtedly mirrors Roland's, to complete a story that threatened to overwhelm him. From a series of short stories originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, The Dark Tower evolved over time to encompass King's entire fictional universe.

"In this indispensable companion, Bev Vincent presents a book-by-book analysis of each volume in the series, tracing The Dark Tower's connections to King's other titles, including The Stand, Insomnia, and Hearts in Atlantis, and offering insights from the author about the creative process involved in crafting his lifelong work--a work that consumed not only Stephen King, but his legion of constant readers."

Also in attendance at the event were Rick Hautala, Holly Newstein, as well as Glenn and Sheila Chadbourne. To see some images from the signing, just click here.
