The Gunslinger
Stephen KingTattooed on my heart, reading this series was the first time I ever remember crying for a character. From Stephen King’s The Gunslinger (Dark Tower Book 1): “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” https://t.co/z4kLRIWLD7 https://t.co/0kAwpyxZKo

Tender Is the Flesh
Agustina Bazterrica@natallman Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica is spectacular if you like visceral gore with a purpose. Children of Chicago by Cina Pelayo is a stunning blend of myth and horror. Inspection by Josh Malerman. The Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo is fantastic Nordic horror/crime.

The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
Stephen KingHad a dream that Roland Deschain set my book on fire, so I think it’s time for a Gunslinger re-read. Wizard and Glass will always be in my top five favorite Stephen King. https://t.co/ZpIy0wyRI2
