Stephen King is a bestselling novelist who made his name in the horror and fantasy genres with books like Carrie and The Shining. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, King published a handful of short novels under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. The idea behind this was to test whether he could replicate his success again and to allay his fears that his popularity was an accident. After a lamentably uneventful 2012, Stephen King kicks off what looks to be an unusually huge year for fans of the master of modern pop horror with a small but perfectly formed mystery novel. The Waste Lands is a fantasy novel and the third book of The Dark Tower series. The original limited edition hardcover featuring full-colour illustrations by Ned Dameron was published in 1991 by Grant. The book was reissued in 2003 to coincide with the publication of The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla. The book derives its title from the T. S. Eliot 1922 poem The Waste Land, several lines of which are reprinted in the opening pages. Eddie is awakened by a voice instructing him to tell Roland to hold the key because it will make the voices go away. Although Eddie does not know from whom this suggestion came, he is willing to try anything to help his friend recapture his sanity. When Roland takes the key, the voices stop, just as Jake had told Eddie they would… Enjoy free online English audiobook “The Waste Lands”, a breathtaking novel by Stephen King.
