Alf the Dwarf Sorcerer is a book about a charismatic dwarf who is given the unfortunate job of saving his home world and all the people around him. Book one starts with Alf adventuring to get the demon armour that his god told him to acquire. Before he can get the armour, he has to go through many dangers and trials that will test his resolve and that of his companions. On his journey he meets new people and hires a whole army of mercenaries to achieve his goal. Unbeknown to Alf, the task at hand is much larger than he ever anticipated. The beginning of the ultimate test begins here in the Demon Mountains.
About the Author
Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author, screenwriter, musician, columnist, actor, film producer and director. Having sold over 350 million copies of his books, King is best known for his work in horror fiction, in which he demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the genre's history. He has also written science fiction, fantasy, short-fiction, non-fiction, screenplays, teleplays and stageplays. Many of his stories have been adapted for other media, including movies, television series and comic books. King has written a number of books using the pen name Richard Bachman and one short story where he was credited as John Swithen. In 2003 he received The National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
King's Dark Tower series, which started in 1982 with The Gunslinger, has combined Tolkien's sense of wonder with a horror and Sergio-Leone influenced Western. Partly the novel is based on Robert Browning's narrative poem, 'Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came'. The world of Roland has many intertextual relationships with King's other books and maps the boundaries of his imagination or universe. Occasionally characters cross over from one genre to another, from fantasy to realism. Roland and his friends, other gunslingers, are helped by the Old Fella, Father Callahan from Salem's Lot.
