“And will I tell you that these three lived happily ever after? I will not, for no one ever does. But there was happiness. And they did live.”

The Wind Through The Keyhole by Stephen King
Trust Stephen King to release the most enjoyable book I’ve had the pleasure to read this year.
It was only a year ago that I finished the Dark Tower series and immediately missed the Ka-Tet and the many worlds that King had created.
This novel set between book 4 and 5 allows us a glimpse of Roland and his friends but also introduces a a whole new set of characters.
The Russian Doll approach to the book means we end up with stories within stories within stories, deeper down the rabbit hole we go. The Wind Through The Keyhole is a bit of a love letter to the way we tell stories and their importance.
What makes it such an enjoyable novel is that the stories Roland tells are so wonderful and compelling. I longed to know where things would end for young Billy and then young Tim.
Don’t expect a whole lot of time spent with Eddie and Co but we do learn quite a bit about the young Roland and the ending was somewhat beautiful.
I hope King decides to enter the world of the Dark Tower again and tell some more stories and fairytales. Its such a rich world full of characters you actually care for in a matter of pages it would be a shame to lose it completely.

Any statement beginning with the words ‘In truth’ is almost always a lie.

There the gunslinger sat, his face turned up into the fading light. He dreamed his dreams and watched as the stars came out; his purpose did not flag, nor did his heart falter; his hair, finer now and gray, blew around his head, and the sandalwood-inlaid guns of his father lay smooth and deadly against his hips, and he was lonely but did not find loneliness in any way a bad or ignoble thing. The dark came down on the world and the world moved on. The gunslinger waited for the time of the drawing and dreamed his long dreams of the Dark Tower, to which he would some day come at dusk and approach, winding his horn, to do some unimaginable final battle.

My first reaction was ‘Nice thought but there’s no way, Coulson is much younger than…’ and then I stopped mid-thought.
Because you know what.
You know what.
After Steve, the US government had to keep trying to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum.
And who
and who
would be the FIRST DAMN PERSON IN LINE to volunteer?
They told us it never worked again. And that was kind of true. They never again recreated the super-strength or the gleaming pecs. But other things, they got right. They got the vastly delayed aging. And the kind of reflexes that make a man able to take out two armed thugs with a bag of flour. And the talent for leading through example. And they got the most important part, Erskine’s favorite part: the magnification of moral fiber, taking the loyalty and selflessness of a loyal and selfless man and making him into something spectacular.
Coulson didn’t buy those vintage cards on Ebay.
He’s had them since he was a little boy.
That little boy right there.
