In the last Book Club of 2022 Tadd and Peter check in with all 3 parties of our fractured Ka-Tet. Jake comes face to face with the dangerous Tick-Tock Man and he learns just how dangerous he is, and he saw some gold-ringed eyes in the air duct. Roland has hit a dead-end with the door, but finds a small vent and sends Oy through for recon, and then sends him again, likely to his death. Then the Deans face down the ever electric Blaine as they discover Riddles is what he wants.

Stay tuned for the Year End Bash on 12/31 as they dive deeper into this topic including dream casting (including the Mike Flanagan regulars).
