CS Lewis had an unpublished, partially completed adult sci-fi novel titled "Dark Tower". Fellows at a major English university rig up a visual window, without sound, into a parallel dimension in which there is a highly developed science, however, on a completely different track than modern, conventional western science. The fellows watch as a young man and young woman present their spines to be stung by a bestial ruler with an implanted sting in his forehead, the Stinging Man.

I haven’t read the book, but if anyone wanted to have a gigantic twist from a Steven King novel, it would be to have the characters openly stating Christian beliefs turn out to not be crazy.

These are the only Steven King books I have tried to read, it stinks on ice. Put it down halfway through the 2nd book. What I suspected from the sort who hold King up as this great writer proved dead on. I am a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan, most of the writers I dig are simply better than King, and much less puerile. And I have noticed his fans are usually much less well read, and so they don’t know how putrid it really is.
