I enjoyed "Pet Semetary", but still feel that "The Shining" is
King's best to date.  I have not read "Dark Tower", but I do 
know that it was originally published as a three part serial in
"Fantasy & Science Fiction" and was also sold as a limited 
edition book.  This is probably why you've not seen it.  There
also exists another, just released, limited edition, large
format book entitled "Cycle of the Werewolf".  It was written
in conjunction with Berni Wrightson illustrations.  The illus-
trations are quite reasonable, the text mediocre.  The book
follows one year in the life of a town being plagued by a 
werewolf.  Unfortunately King has the traditional change
occurring at the full moon, but then has the full moon occurring
at wholly random intervals.  As an example, the moon is full 
at the end of June and then again on the fourth of July.  I am
well able to suspend my disbelief, in general, but this asks 
far more than I can provide.  My final opinion on "Cycle of
the Werewolf" is that it is not worth the $29.95 asking price, 
unless you are an avid Wrightson collector.
