Song of Susannah continues directly from the almost
literally cliff-hanging epilogue to Wolves of the Calla.
Meanwhile the penultimate instalment in the Dark Tower septet
follows three interlocked storylines. Roland and Eddie in New
England, where they undergo the firestorm of the book’s only major
action set-piece, Jake and Father Callahan hot in pursuit of
Susannah in New York, and Susannah herself, together with her alter
ego Mia, struggling with probably the strangest pregnancy in all
fiction. Her travails certainly make the New York horrors of Ira
Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby seem almost mundane. The novel is not
complete in itself, but leads to a duel climax-cliffhanger leading
directly into the final volume, The Dark Tower.
While the journey itself is compelling and the finale
riveting, it is Stephen King’s imaginative boldness which make this
episode so remarkable. Stories about storytelling have become
increasingly common in modern fiction, with books within books and
fictional authors being central to such metafictions as Christopher
Priest’s The Affirmation and Jonathan Carroll’s The Land of Laughs.
King though takes the process further, writing himself into the
saga, playing ingenious games with what the public knows of his
life, even to his famous near fatal accident in 1999, and in a
breathtaking achievement weaving the 34 year long writing of this
series of books into its own fabric. The shocking sting in the
final pages mean all bets are off for the epic final volume.
