The Wind through the Keyhole

"The Wind Through the Keyhole" er en selvstændig fortælling, der finder sted mellem fjerde og femte bog i Stephen Kings episke fantasysaga, Dark Tower-serien. "The Wind Trough the Keyhole" er en historie indeni en anden historie, hvor gunslingeren Roland åbner op om sin fortid på sin færd mod the Dark Tower. Romanen følger Roland og hans kat-tet, netop som en voldsom storm raser og forsinker deres rejse langs the Path of the Beam. Derfor vælger Roland at fortælle om sine unge dage som gunslinger, i det skyldshærgede år efter morens død. I fortællingen sendes den unge Roland afsted for at efterforske en morderlig formskifter, men ender i stedet med at berolige en modig, men rædselsslagen dreng, som er den sidste overlevende efter formskifterens sidste blodsudgydelser. Den eneste måde Roland kan få knægten til at slappe af på, er ved at genfortælle en af de magiske historier hans mor plejede at læse højt da han selv var lille.
