Movie TV Tech Geeks #BooksandComics #TheDarkTower #StephenKing You're Not a True Stephen King Fan Unless You've Read These 8 Books http://dlvr.it/TVJ35m

While Vampire Hunter D, The Dark Tower, and Dreamcatcher were probably the most influential books when it comes to my own work, other mediums of story telling have definitely seasoned my storytelling. I love the cosmic horror underpinnings of the game Bloodborne, the thoughtful and emotional storytelling of the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, and I can’t get enough of horror movies with dark foreboding or ambiguous conclusions. I’m also a huge fan of Inuyasha and the world that unfolds within the anime/manga, from the struggles and growth of characters, to the ebb and flow of the storyline itself.

More on inspiration--What horror writer doesn’t look to Stephen King as a source of inspiration? I’ll confess that I haven’t read every morsel of his making, and I can’t say that I enjoy every work that I have read, but there are certain works that have definitely left an impression on me. Before reading the epic Dark Tower series I already had my own thoughts on a string of worlds strewn together across a multiverse, but the series was a great different take on bringing together different dimensions. The Gunslinger starts off with a slow burn that stretches out into an intricate web with The Drawing of The Three and onward. It’s also a wonderful genre blender, with its cowboy and magical tropes sifted through the lens of a collapsing world. Dreamcatcher is another magical book to me, with a mental battle that I’ll always think about.

I find Eddie, Jake and Susannah so annoying in #TheDarkTower that I sometimes forget just how good the parts of the stories without them are, such as #TheGunslinger or the flashback story in #WizardAndGlass.
