, Starred Review “I have always ound Roland’s ormative years the most compelling,and this takes us back to the year ollowing his mother’s death…Testory reads like a genre mash-up o horror/western/detective fction,in which our hero rides into town to wade through gore, solve amystery, and bring justice to an unruly rontier town. Te experience will urther steel him or the man he will become, the stone-acedgunslinger who makes bullets dance rom six-shooters with sandal- wood grips…I elt enchanted…[King] still tells stories better thananyone.” –
