The first door (labeled "The Prisoner") brings Eddie Dean, a young heroin addict in the process of smuggling cocaine into New York for the Mob boss Enrico Balazar. As Roland passes through these doors, he brings back the companions who will join him on his quest to the Dark Tower. Each door opens onto New York City at different periods in time (1987, 19, respectively). Feverish and losing strength, Roland continues north along the beach, where he eventually encounters three doors. His untreated wounds soon become infected. Roland wakes up on a beach, and he is suddenly attacked by a strange, lobster-like creature, which he dubs a "lobstrosity." He kills the creature, but not before losing the index and middle fingers of his right hand and most of his right big toe. The book begins less than seven hours after the end of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger after The Man in Black has described The Gunslinger's fate using tarot cards. The story is a continuation of The Gunslinger and follows Roland of Gilead and his quest towards the Dark Tower. The series was inspired by Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning. It is the second book in the Dark Tower series, published by Grant in 1987. The Drawing of the Three is a dark fantasy novel by American writer Stephen King.
