In the autumn of 2000, Stephen King needed a temporary research assistant. Hoping to employ a local graduate student, he contacted his old advisor, Burt Hatlen, at the University of Maine at Orono, and asked if he could recommend someone for the job. Burt knew of a PhD student who fit all of King\u2019s needs. She was a published poet, loved fantasy, science fiction, and horror, and was an avid Constant Reader. Her name was Robin Furth.<\/p>\n

On a snowy afternoon in December of that year, after completing the last of her assigned tasks, Robin met Stephen King in person. He told her that he was about to return to his Dark Tower series and needed complete page references for all of the characters and places listed in the original four novels. Would she be interested in the extra job? She said yes.<\/p>\n

To King\u2019s surprise, six weeks later she handed in a Dark Tower encyclopedia, complete with characters, places, games, diseases, gods, lore, and languages. It was bound in black, had a found key taped to the cover, and contained a magical door at the front labeled THE AUTHOR, so that King could re-enter his vast universe. King enjoyed the book so much that he named it\u00a0The Dark Tower Concordance<\/em>\u00a0and invited her to continue tracking\u00a0Roland\u2019s many adventures. Robin has been living in Mid-World ever since.<\/p>\n

Originally created for Stephen King\u2019s private use, Robin\u2019s\u00a0Dark Tower Concordance<\/em>\u00a0is a complete guide to Stephen King\u2019s epic Dark Tower series.\u00a0Stephen King\u2019s T<\/em>he\u00a0Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance<\/em>,\u00a0Revised and Updated<\/em>\u00a0(2012), covers Books I-VII, \u201cThe Little Sisters of Eluria,\u201d and King\u2019s 2012 Dark Tower novel,\u00a0The Wind Through the Keyhole<\/em>.\u00a0Robin is also the co-author and Series Consultant for Marvel\u2019s best-selling\u00a0Dark Tower<\/em>\u00a0comics as well as the Series Consultant for MRC and Sony\u2019s recent film, The Dark Tower<\/em>.<\/p>\n
