Stephen King Reveals New Dark Tower Novel Coming

More Dark Tower? Sounds great to me!

I really enjoyed Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.  I can't quite put my finger on it but it was just really something.  Different from his other writings.  When the seventh book came out in 2004, I was happy but also saddened that the journey was over.  
 
Horror Yearbook has announced that King has revealed a new Dark Tower book is coming.  Later on the Stephen King message board it was revealed that the title will be The Wind Through The Keyhole.  King hasn't started writing it and thinks it will be a minimum of eight months before he can begin.  I'm willing to wait if it means more of the Gunslinger.
 
The good and bad news about this is where the book will be set.  Apparently the events in the book will take place in between Wizard And Glass and Wolves Of The Calla (the fourth and fifth books).  In some ways this makes sense.  In the seventh book, The Dark Tower, we did get an ending.  As much as I'd like King to go back to that ending and somehow change certain events, it wouldn't really make sense.  So while I'm not completely crazy that it's set in between the fourth and fifth book, I am excited over the idea of another book in the series.
