♥️♥️♥️ A million times ♥️!!!
I cannot wait to go back there, maybe run into some old friends.
Been wondering about this for years
All right!
Wonderful news! Love this series - so profound. Some chapters I've read multiple times as there's so much there. Concepts I've referred to ever since, like the world 'thinning' in certain places.
Jack lights up lol
Finally, an October surprise I can be happy about! TY
That's awesome. Just finished Wind through the Keyhole.
Really?? Hell yes!! I've been meaning a re-read this year anyways. 💗
I am SO ready for this! Already have my pre order in!
Yes!🙌
Mr. King you are truly amazing in your ability to create and share these amazing stories. It’s too bad we don’t use your brain for good, instead of evil.🤣🤣🤣 Love you, sir!
Mr. King, was the bloody child's sneaker in Lois finds in 'Insomnia' Gage Creed's shoe (Pet Sematary)?
Mr. King, may I ask you a question about the Dark Tower Series?
I loved the Dark Tower series. I can't wait for more adventures in Mid-World.
Long days and pleasant nights, Gunslingers.
Looking good Stephen.
I’m sorry, that shirt is awesome!
I am ridiculously excited about this!
Handsome devil and a beast of a writer! Looking forward to your next releases!!
Rereading Black House, now. Can't wait!
❤️❤️❤️
😀
I don’t know. Sounds very mid.
Wha… wha… WHAT? Fuckin DO IT!
Mortal, do you enjoy reading Victorian set gothic horror?
Oh hell yes!!!
Wait, what???
F*CK YES.
🙌
This makes me very very happy!

Hello Mr. King, love your work!!!
At last! Some good news!
Dearest Mr King , Please write a short story about a 17 yr old female 4-H reporter to the nation from a farm Arizona who goes to the White House for tour and luncheon and saves America ? ( lots of blood and orange flesh) ) Head-heart-hands-health. Id be willing to help with the details!
I’d like to thank you sir. You’ve given me 50 years of joy from reading your books. My son is 18 and is making it his goal to collect and read every one of your books he can. We even made a detour up to Maine during our college tour trip to the east coast to see some of what inspired you. Bless you!
Can't wait yaaaaaaay \ o /
@StephenKing Mr King, you won't regret watching this heart warming dog story. The lead dog is worthy to be noted ✌️ *All credit to @AaronParnas who posted this clip
Man, you couldn’t write this 💩. It’s like all your horror stories riled into one. Scary, scary times.
I know it well! It'll be nice to revisit
Yes please
So excited to be back in Mid-World with the Ka-Tet!!
Got my book already preordered! I’m about to rip through Talisman and The Black House (again) beforehand. It’ll be nice to be back in Mid World.
Thankee-sai
oh my godddddddddddd

Hopefully this is a book and not another movie or TV show.
is he going to rewrite the ending of book 7
It was pre-ordered in 2 seconds.
Crazy timing. Just picked up book 6 after reading Salem’s Lot! Very excited
Is there any specific character from the Dark Tower universe that you feel the most guilty about killing off, or do you have no regrets?
Meant to say thanks for the recommendation of Tom's Crossing by Mark Z. Danielewski, really enjoying it, I'm at 76% and reading like a maniac to get to the end.
It's already on pre order for this constant reader, I'm so looking forward to going back to the territories.
There will be water if God wills it.
@stephenking.bsky.social I’m not sure if you’ll see this.. or if appropriate place to post.. but would you ever consider revisiting Dick Hallorann.. and filling in some of the things that made him who he is.. especially now that Welcome to Derry created more backstory.. also..♥️ Cujo & need remake 😉
Can we buy those t-shirts?
Thankee Sai, big-big
Rereading the Talisman in preparation …thank you for all of it.
I don’t know dude. 1st few books are legitimately some of the best ever written!… Last few in the series were meandering with one obscure fantastical event/explanation after another sooo… 🤞
Wooooooooolffffff.
I must be having a stroke, am I dreaming? Thank you so very much!! For everything. Seriously. I’ve been your Dear Reader since Carrie was published, instantly making Tales From the Crypt obsolete childhood rubbish, Lovecraft and Poe too ancient and detached from my 1970s tween life.
Dear Stephen King. Do you know your Under the Dome sounds like 2026 US politics? Uncanny. Also, I reference it in my sci fi story taking place a medieval part of Santiago de Compostela. It works beautifully.
Thankee-sai
Hopefully it is a better trip than we had in 2017.
Que vos jours soient longues et vos nuits plaisantes stephen
if someone's fleein', I'm followin'
It is all connected.
Realy? Back to the black tower series or a separate novel? You make us all very curious. Can't wait. :)
If you say so, then let it be so.
Get Jack over there on a mission, and just make Wolf happen pleeeeese!
How, then, do you think to begin a novel about a G5 corona mass ejection — a solar storm that slowly wipes out civilization? From the first global blackout and smoldering pole pigs, to starvation, cannibalism, and finally the last surviving pockets overrun by the desperate.
I’m in.
I pre-ordered it when the first announcement came out. Thank you for returning to The Territories!!
Just in time for my birthday!! Thankee-Sai!!
Yesss!
I'm always there, so I'm looking forward to seeing you again!
Rest In Power, Peter Straub.
Thank you. This year has been quite difficult so far. It's nice to get some good news.
Ooooh!
What you say?!?!
I've really gotta catch up on my Steven King. I think the last one I read was Dreamcatcher
My gunna is packed!
I hope this is the third installment of The Talisman series
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Many Thanks from Germany.
Currently reading (listening to more accurately) The Talisman on my commute and I keep conflating it with the Dark Tower. Same narrator. So Jack becomes Jake and Wolf melts into Eddie. Occasionally I expect a Honkey Mo Fo to come flying out of Speedy. Constant reader is never boring 😆
Thank you, Sai King 🌹
Did-a-chuck
Constant reader since age 11; I finished Dark Tower series last summer in honor of my belated best friend who loved it, and finished The Lonesome Dove chronicles two days ago. This is the best dern news right now, thankee Captain. 🥲 #thegunslingerfollowed
😌😌😌
Oh yeah
Wolf right here and now!
In book or TV/Movie form? I am ready for this.
Can't wait ! I say true! Long days and pleasant nights Sai King!
WHAT!??????
Thank you for everything, our King 👑💀
Hoping and praying for Jack and Roland crossing paths!!!🤞
I say thankyee sai Long days and pleasant nights
I hope with News from Jack Sawyer. Greetings Front Austria.
:O I just started The Dark Tower series. I'm on The Waste Lands now. This is exciting news.
Snow showers in western Maine. Day two of spring snow. Watched 'Weapons' and thought of you as the snow fell. Definitely your genre.
Ka is a wheel i knew deep down we would return . Hopefully the bends of the rain bow will make an appearance. There fascinating
Get in, losers. We're going to Mejis.
Finally some good news!
With traveling Jack or Roland?
I’ve read a ton of Stephen king since last November, yesterday I finished heart-shaped box by Joe hill and started the fireman today. And we get a treat for October also!?
RIGHT HERE AND NIOW
The world is better bc you are here
🚨🚨🚨
Just restarted my journey :)
if Ka wills it
❤️🙏🏼
I can’t wait! Loved The Talisman so much ❤️
Damn what a good news! I hope the translations are lined up, I can't wait for the French one!
Everything serves the fucking beam. So I have 6 month for another, maybe the fifth, journey to the dark tower.
One of my favorite worlds.
Huh? I thought you were dead? We even named our Christmas turkey in memory of you! So when you do pass my nomination for you to be named for our Christmas turkey will be rejected. There will be a serious diplomatic incident in our household. So I have decided to give you a pseudonym.Victor Farquar
Thankee-sai
I’m gonna need a bigger shelf! 👏
I’m afraid the world has moved on since we were last there, but I hope we’ll meet some old friends along the way when the door to Mid-World opens again.
I’m here for it!!!
There will be a palaver in the plaza.
So--Veazie?
Awesome, when can I expect my signed leatherbound copy?
I am ready. thankee sai.
Thankee sai
hi, Mr King just wanted to say that i got to read Trucks for the 1st time and it is incredible i read it to do a tiktok/reels on a séries i’m doing about your adaptations i was particulary fascinated by the philosophical aspect. it make me think a lot about our machine dependence great writing
Say what now?!
Heck yes! Bring it!!
I will be ready. Just have to read a couple of books beforehand. 😁
I read the entire series probably 20+ years ago. (When did the last one come out?) Should I read it again? Will there be background info in the new book to remind us of what came before? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
YESSSSSS
Oh, so you're a 'Kaamelott' fan? (a french comedy with almost the same logo)
Have you ever tried growing a mustache? I think yours might look awesome. Rock a Sam Elliot.
Holy crap yes!
Looking forward to October
😳
YES.

Right here and now Jack! Wolf!
Ka is a wheel
Don't be teasing me, Mr. King...
What!?! This is great news!
WHAT
Thank you. I’ve missed the Territories.
I already have an order for hard cover at my local independent bookstore. They thought I was funny, ordering so far ahead a book they’ll undoubtedly have cratesful of, but I don’t care because I’m so excited. 😂
In the middle of re-reading the entire DT series plus The Talisman and The Black House in preparation. It’s a lot of pages.
Thank you sai. You're going to publish it on my birthday. What a gift!
Just reread DT, Talisman and Black House, I'm ready 😁
Lookin' good, Sai
Ohhh.
I don't know whether to say "Thankee Sai" or "Ruh-roh"
OMG OMG OMG if its another Talisman book... sooooooo excited!!!!
M-O-O-N that spells Lighting out for the territories! Let's fucking go!
Oy!
Love it! RIP Peter
Holy shit
The best news so far this year!!!!!
Pre-ordered Other Worlds Than These earlier this month!!😁
Genuinely so hyped for this book
My dear Mr. King, today is my birthday. I see you and say thankee for this wonderful gift.
Really?!!!
YES!
In music as well as in life, we must fight inertia and keep pushing forward.
Yar! We made a tracker app.
(redacted) DIED so you could take ANOTHER 14 YEARS off from this world?! Sorry for the emotion, but I have literally just relistened to the two sad deaths in TDT today, and am looking forward to listening to Roland giving an injured you a good talking to tomorrow.
It was about halfway through Wizard and Glass that I realized I wanted to be a writer.
Sweet!
Ka's a wheel baby
🤩
I added this to my collection about a month before I heard about the upcoming release. Needless to say, I am beyond excited!! Thankee sai
Pre ordered will have to re read the first two been yrs since I read them
Every night as I am leaving the job I say "there are other words than these" Would love some early tales of the gunslinger!
I can’t put my gratitude into words... to be honest, I hadn’t expected a third volume. Thank you so much for honouring Peter and sending us back to Mid-world! That’s KA!
thankee sai
WHAT?
Is this for a new story or the show?
Are we getting the Ka-tet back together?
👏👏👏
Wooooooooo!!!
...and the gunslinger followed.
Could we stop at the comic-book store along the way?
