Then this thing started to add on bits and pieces so I guess it will be a novel." According to King, the idea is a new Dark Tower novel. King said, regarding the Dark Tower series, "It's not really done yet. Those seven books are really sections of one long über-novel."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stephen King not done with his 'Dark Tower' series )〕 While promoting his novel ''Under the Dome'', King confirmed this during his TimesTalk event at The TimesCenter in New York City on November 10, 2009, and the next day King's official site posted the information that King will begin working on this novel in about eight months, with a tentative title being ''The Wind Through the Keyhole''.〔King, Stephen.
