The dark tower series is one of his best IMO. Unfortunate he ended the series earlier than planned... Was supposed to be quite a few books longer but I remember reading (and I could be remembering wrong) in the foreward to one of his books that the weight of people sending him letters such as "I'm terminally ill, i was hoping you could tell me how it ends before I pass" and all the other contact he got led him to cut it a bit short. That said, I think it's his best work.

The intro to the first book was kind of sad, with mails from sick people and people sentenced to death asking King how it ends and he was unable to respond because he wasn't sure where he wanted to go.
