About

The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower. Located in the fey region of End-World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is the nexus point of the time-space continuum. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat. Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it.

Inspired in equal parts by Robert Browning’s poem, “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,” J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Western classics, The Dark Tower series is an epic of Arthurian proportions. It is Stephen King’s magnum opus and is the centre of his amazing creative universe.

Friday the 13th alert!

It's very much just another Friday, because black cats are exactly the same as regular cats and the only reason you should avoid them is if you have a massive cat allergy.

In all honesty we'd take a Friday the 13th over an any-other-day-of-the-week 13th because this way there's a weekend around the corner.

But maybe you are a bit of a superstitious oddball and maybe you do plan on staying in bed all day today.

Suits us just fine. It means you'll have much more time to shop online.
