There used to be graffiti in the town where I live, many years ago, that said "All hail the Crimson King" written in red spray paint on a sign. I often think about it. It's worn away, not really visible anymore but still kind of there. This was long before the movie came out, back when I thought I was the only teenager in the world who read The Dark Tower series, and then became a young adult who still thought I was alone in liking and rereading that series over and over. Did the person who wrote the graffiti read those books? Or was it in reference to something else? Why can't I stop thinking about it?
