SUMMARY: Ever wondered how exactly Stephen King's "Dark Tower" universe fits together? Great news! Here's a video that shows how the story of Roland's ka-tet grew over time and crashed into the worlds of "Salem's Lot," "The Stand," "11/22/63," and countless more. Click play and watch the world bloom like a rose made up of nerd-ass circles and lines.
MUSIC:
Axletree
"Reservoir Sunset," "Goldfinch: Flight to the North"

REFERENCE:

"The Stephen King Multiverse"

CRITERIA AND CAVEATS:
1. Core locations (Derry, Castle Rock, 'salem's Lot, and Mid-World) are included only if they're present in a story; being mentioned is not enough.
2. Core characters can be included if they're mentioned, as with Flagg in "Hearts in Atlantis" and the Crimson King in "Black House."
3. I deliberately limited myself to 12 connecting elements so the graphic would be legible and appealing to the eyes.
4. Some seemingly-absent connections are due to technicalities (the car's owner in "From a Buick 8" is theorized but not verified to be a Low Man, and the Ritual of Chud in "IT" and "Later" is a psychic battle, not a todash one). But at least one ("Gwendy's Final Task") is a consequence of me learning about it when I was 99% done with the video. Oh, well.
