Wolves of the Calla is the thrilling fifth book in Stephen King’s Dark Tower series—a unique bestselling epic fantasy quest inspired many years ago by The Lord of the Rings.

In the extraordinary fifth novel in Stephen King’s remarkable fantasy epic, Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World. Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World’s borderlands.

Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community’s soul. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla-folken both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough.©2003 Stephen King; (P)2003 Simon & Schuster, Inc., All Rights Reserved, Audioworks is an imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

What the critics say

The New York Times Book Review [A] hypnotic blend of suspense and sentimentality...sprawling, eventful tale of demons, monsters, narrow escapes and magic portals.
LOCUS Wolves of the Calla is one of the strongest entries yet in what will surely be a master storyteller's magnum opus.
The San Francisco Chronicle One gets the feeling that this colossal story means a lot to King, that he's telling it because he has to....he's giving "The Dark Tower" everything he's got.
The Philadelphia Inquirer The man can spin a yarn, and a great one at that.
People The master of the macabre....[King] is still quite the entertainer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution An impressive work of mythic magnitude. May turn out to be Stephen King's greatest literary achievement.
The Kansas City Star It works because King, despite his long resume, keeps insisting on surprising himself and, in so doing, surprising us.
The Denver Post Brilliant in technique and ability...Feed your head! Now dig in, 'cause King's latest in this seven-course banquet...is a lip-smacking, brain-filling repast.
Bangor Daily News "The Dark Tower" is King's masterpiece....Wolves of the Calla succeeds as a standalone work.
Publishers Weekly The high suspense and extensive character development here...plus the enormity of King's ever-expanding universe, will surely keep his "Constant Readers" in awe.

Stephen King is the master, and has been for many years. I started with him when Carrie came out, and now have almost his whole library on audiobook--partly because I ADORE Frank Muller's voice, and partly because I always wanted to read the Dark Tower series, but lost my sight in the early 90s.
Now, notice I said Frank Muller, but the narrator is George Guidall, as Frank had been injured in 2001, and died in 2008, so he was unable to complete The Dark tower series. I really wasn't sure if I'd be able to switch midstream from one beloved narrator to another. However, George delivered, and I've now finished the series.

Wasn't sure I'd enjoy this but it was very good.

loved the book and enjoyed the audio. The only problem I had was the pauses between chapters. Compared to many other audio books I listened to I find the pauses in this one were too long. I kept thinking my device had froze

performance pauses

Characters are likeable, the religion line of the story isn't great. The other books previous to this one were alot better and I was kind of dissapointed with this one.

Not as good as the other ones
