The seven-volume series, written and published over a period of 30 years, was inspired by Robert Browning's poem \"Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came,\" as well as J.R.R. Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, and the spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the full cooperation of Stephen King himself, \u003ci\u003eThe Road to the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDark Tower\u003c\/i\u003e examines the epic journey of the author to complete a story that threatened to overwhelm him.
