Wolves of the Calla
Author: Stephen King
Year of publication: 2002
Plot summary: Roland and his ka-tet have reached the outskirts of the world, but before moving on into the east and towards the Tower, they are posed with a request to help the little town Calla Bryn Sturgis with their problem: a pack of wolves on horseback, taking their children.
The fifth of King's The Dark Tower series, Wolves of the Calla holds as much mystery and riddles as its predecessors. The parallell between Mid-World and our own is intriguing, and throughout the story you have the feeling that not a single incident, word, character or location is random; there's a connection to all of them, a meaning to every letter in a name; if not for the name itself (Calla, Callahan), then because it's nineteen. A con is that you'll have to read the previous books to understand this one fully.
