Even if some creatures morph when they move from one world to another-as do the can-toi and the Regulators-there is still a place for them in Roland’s universe. As Stephen King says, there is a place for all of his characters in Mid-World, from Randall Flagg and Ralph Roberts to Ted Brautigan and Dinky Earnshaw.

I think there's more to it than that, actually. a place of strange atmosphere, crazy landscape, and savage gravitational pull. I have written enough novels and short stories to fill a solar system of the imagination, but Roland's story is my Jupiter-a planet that dwarfs all the others.
