Stephen King's Dark Tower series,dominatrix: gender, eroticism, and control in the dungeon summary which stands at seven core books, a prequel short story and a later novel, is pretty much finished now, right?
Obviously there's a Mike Flanagan TV adaptation in the works, but in terms of the books themselves, that chapter is over?

On Wednesday, King shared some fan art on X (formerly Twitter) of main character Roland Deschain walking through Mid-world — and he followed it up with a post hinting that we might not have seen the last of the Gunslinger's former home.

"Mid-world is still there," wrote King. "The Tower still stands."
Mid-world is, of course, the name of the world that's home to the series' eponymous Dark Tower, which itself holds the very fabric of the multiverse together. We don't know exactly what King meant by that post, but it at least suggests the horror master would be happy to revisit that world one day. Given that he already returned to it with The Wind Through the Keyhole, a novel set between books four and five that was published eight years after the main series ended, this maybe isn't all that much of a surprise.

Still, just because it's on his mind, doesn't mean we'll be seeing any more Dark Tower stories anytime soon. The "Upcoming Works" section of King's official site is currently blank, and based on previous interviews it appears that King is currently working on another novel featuring Holly Gibney, his recurring private detective.
