The Wind Through the Keyhole, by Stephen King - Book Review

Back in the “Dark Tower” universe, “Wind Through the Keyhole” was the last of the books to be released. It is a side-story, a one-off, Stephen King wanted to tell that has little to do with the actual events of the books.

It takes place after Roland and his Kat-Tet’s meeting with the Tick-Tock Man and the Green Palace. Roland tells the story, one night, around the campfire; the book is actually a story within a story.

He tells them the tale from his youth when he went hunting a dangerous Skin Man. He then tells a young boy, during that story, a tale his mother told him, about the wind through the keyhole.

This is the main story and it follows young Tim, who lives in a small rural village where the men mostly harvest lumber. Little Tim ends up wandering into the dark woods, to help his mother, where he has a very fun, almost childish adventure.
