Don’t Be Afraid to Get Weird King’s Dark Tower books are unapologetically weird. Robot bears, raccoon-dog hybrids, talking lobster monsters, alternate reality versions of Jesus, singing roses – there’s a ton of far-out shit happening in the books, and King presents most of it in matter-of-fact ways. The Dark Tower TV show shouldn’t be afraid to lean into all the weirdness.
