In the next part of their journey to the tower, Roland and his band of followers face adversity from every side: Susannah Dean has been taken over by a demon-mother and uses the power of Black Thirteen to get from the Mid-World New York City. But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play? Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977. It is a terrible world: for one thing it is real and bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called 'SALEM'S LOT. SONG OF SUSANNAH is driven by revelation and by suspense. It continues THE DARK TOWER series seamlessly from WOLVES OF THE CALLA and the dramatic climax will leave readers desperate to read the quest's conclusion.

Song of Susannah was surprisingly good. I have to say I wasn't looking forward to an entire book of Suze and the demon baby. One of the most interesting, I suppose some would say mind-blowing, things was the addition of a certain new character. You kind of knew it was coming, with Salem's Lot hanging out in Tower's bookshelf, but it was still crazy. Actually, I rather liked Stephen King, the character. He was a pretty funny dude, even if he did hit the bottle too hard and too often. I wondered if Stephen King himself really believes that there was some outside force trying to keep the Gunslinger's tale from being told. A force no less than the Crimson King himself (and for some reason I'm really relieved that it isn't spelled "Krimson"). Speaking of the CK, I felt that there was a transition in this book from a non-denominational evil being to the biblical devil.
