Stephen King has authored so many unforgettable works about relatable good folk reckoning with true evil, from horror classics like It and The Shining to more grounded works like The Green Mile and Mr. Mercedes. But for many fans (myself included!) King’s masterwork is the Dark Tower cycle, a sprawling fantasy/horror/western epic written over 30 years. I first discovered the book as a teenager, drawn in by the incredible and evocative Michael Whelan illustrations. It was a world I longed to see more of… but sadly, the first movie adaptation was a huge miss. When I saw that Gayle Spiller, the amazing LEGO house masterpiece alum with a maximalist building style, had tackled the Dark Tower in bricks, I knew we were in for a treat, but I wasn’t prepared for such a detailed tribute to King’s universe.

Gayle captures the eldritch horror of the tower itself surrounded by the beautiful
Can’-Ka No Rey filed of roses. She captures the beams that support the tower, each connected to its spirit animal. There’s an Unfound Door to take you between worlds. And even a sly reference to the lobstrosities that cost Roland some fingers. Of course the Ka-Tet is all here, a group bound by fate.
