My Dark Tower will probably be the Murderland saga. I'm working on retooling part 3 to be what I want it to be instead of what I thought those who published commercial horror wanted. I did that for Part 2 and I like how the plot turned out much better. I got to add a ninja fight, more hallucinations and overall more gore and action.

Murderland 2 was fantastic, I really liked how the characters progressed and evolved so you've got some pressure for book 3 mate!

I don't know if my take on Archelon Ranch was different to what you intended but I saw as some sort of convergence point between weird and wonderful existences, a refuge from the insanity and a place of answers and so forth.

By the way, for some reason the image you created of people standing in the street waiting for the cooling fans to come on, but risking their lives doing so, is one which has stuck with me. Its strange how certain images can be evocative!
