Stephen King narrates the full-length audiobook version of The Wind Through the Keyhole, and we've been given a 9 minute excerpt to share with our readers.
"International bestselling author Stephen King will read his new audiobook, THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE, the first time in more than a decade that King will narrate a full-length audiobook. Simon & Schuster Audio will publish THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE simultaneously with the Scribner hardcover and ebook on April 24, 2012.
THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE audiobook will also offer an exclusive audio preview of King’s upcoming novel, DOCTOR SLEEP, the eagerly-awaited sequel to his classic, THE SHINING, to be published in 2013. Stephen King will also read the excerpt from DOCTOR SLEEP."
The Wind Through the Keyhole is considered The Dark Tower 4.5 and bridges the gap between books 4 and 5, while providing a standalone story featuring Roland as well:
“We join Roland and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. As they shelter from the screaming wind and snapping trees, Roland tells them not just one strange tale, but two–and in doing so sheds fascinating light on his own troubled past.
In his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following his mother’s death, Roland is sent by his father to a ranch to investigate a recent slaughter. Here Roland discovers a bloody churn of bootprints, clawed animal tracks and terrible carnage–evidence that the ‘skin-man’, a shape-shifter, is at work. There is only one surviving witness: a brave but terrified boy called Bill Streeter."
