The Dark Tower series is pretty good for the first three or four books, the rest I couldn't vouch for. I find a lot of his stories hit the same beats to the point that they feel formulaic, but his best-known works - the ones you've heard of over and over again - are all worth a read.
Also, if you're looking for really long, really dense, really dark fantasy in a thoroughly rounded and meticulously crafted world, check out Steven Erikson's Malazan saga. King does horror, Erikson does horripilation.
Thank you so much. I'll check out Malazan for sure. I was at Walmart and see King's book "Fairy Tale" and it got me curious. Have you read this book?
Fairy Tale was decent. I read or listen to a lot of books, if you go through books quickly you'll probably enjoy it, if you are the kind of reader that takes your time the pacing might be slow.
Theres a lot of tribute material, but it didn't add up to enough to make me tired of it.
