Sidste roman i Dark Tower-serien, eller Det mørke Tårn. Nogle kalder den nr. 8 andre kalder den nr. 4,5, men sikkert er det, at den er læng ventet på dansk af alle Kings dark tower fans. Vinden gennem nøglehullet er skrevet som den sidste i serien, men handlingsmæssigt placere den sig mellem nr. 4 og 5. King indledte faktisk Dark Tower serien helt tilbage i 1974, men først i løbet af 80’erne slog serien for alvor igennem, og fik kultstatus. De seneste bind i serien blev udgivet i 2003 og 2004, men efterfølgende besluttede King sig for at skrive Vinden gennem nøglehullet til stor begejstring for de mange fans. Faktisk kan romanen også læses uden at have læst de øvrige i serien, og kan på den måde udgøre en port ind til Kings forfatterskab.
