Wolves of the Calla

The 5th installment in the Dark Tower series.

When you think by now that the Dark Towers series is a bit weird then you are in for a surprise. King takes some story elements to the next level of weirdness. Most books, even Kings own books, are in one prevailing genre, mixed with some elements of other genres.
But here, King takes western, robots, werewolves, vampires, ghosts, magic, SF, horror and creates a hotchpotch. And it works! As with other authors this probably would end up in one giant train crash, King is able to create a cohesive and immersive story.

King is at his best in small town settings, describing the different characters and the interactions between the villagers. This is the overarching storyline, where, in between, we get the backstory of an old acquaintance from Salem's Lot.

Parallel, there are developments around Susannah. This was, to me, the least attractive part of the book and makes it a 4 star book instead of 4.5 to 5 stars
