_Wind Through the Keyhole_? Yeah, I liked it. Better than the final book anyway. ---

Wait a minute, this is more than just potentially another Dark Tower book. He mentions that he’s in Mid-World _ **and** _ the territories. Holy crap! ---

Maybe he’s referring to _The End of the World As We Know It_, the new anthology that is coming out that takes place in the world of _The Stand_. Maybe we’ll get some kind of crossover, with someone from _The Stand’s_ version of Topeka ending up in mid world, or maybe just a more fleshed out version of how the ka-tet spent their time in Topeka. But I’m guessing we’re going to see at least a little more of Roland. Why do I think that might be the case? The blurb on Amazon says that these are “all-new stories set during and after (and some perhaps long after) the events of The Stand”. What else could “long after” mean other than Roland’s time? > [@Mahaloth](#): > > I never even read that last interquel he did. Was it any good? I liked it. IMHO it wasn’t as good as the first four books, but it was better than the last three. ---

King was on today’s episode of The Kingcast podcast, lightly talking about working on mid-world/territories again, for anyone who wants to hear it in his own voice. ---
