## Resource

Stephen King is the most prolific horror author of the last several generations. Embedded within his works, is the connective tissue of The Wheel of Ka, or the King-a-verse. The dfining works that exemplifies this most is the Dark Tower series. There are at least 7 novels and it's inspired numerous other multiverses. In orderr to discuss this series, I call upon Matt Vincent. You might remember him from our Caprica episode.
