An animated "virtual" Stephen King appeared on his website on Monday to announce that he's completed his series "The Dark Tower". Started in 1970, when King was 22 years old, the series will end next November.

"People have been asking one question above all others over the past nine years: When are you going to finish `The Dark Tower'? Well, guess what - it's done. So do me a favor and spread the word," the virtual author said.

The author has completed the final three novels. "Wolves of the Calla" was released yesterday, to be followed by "Song of Susannah" in summer 2004 and finished with the novel "The Dark Tower" in November 2004/
