Dark Tower

[close] The western is a time-honored genre in the literature world, but it wasn't until lately that we've started adding the surreal to the mix and it's been a wild ride. From "Wild Wild West" to "Cowboys and Aliens" and "Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare", the genre has seen an explosion of weird. Was the OK Corral shootout actually a last stand against zombies? What about alternate-history Wild West steampunk? Lovecraftian gold mine dwellers? Parallel-world gunslingers like Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series? Modern-day "Justified"-style vampire hunters? Bring 'em all in, dead or alive. Book-club discussion, reviews, book suggestions, dream-casts, workshopping, and author AMAs.

[close] A Book group for people to join if they like literature. All people welcome. But if your favourite books list includes Twilight, Fifty shades or other assorted pieces of nonsense, expect to be trolled! But all trolling is in good fun.
