Everything's Eventual

"The Little Sisters of Eluria" is part of The Dark Tower series.

In the introduction to the book, King describes the unusual method he used to sort the stories:

What I did was take all the spades out of a deck of cards plus a joker. Ace to King = 1-13. Joker = 14. I shuffled the cards and dealt them. The order in which they came out of the deck became the order of the stories, based on their position in the list my publisher sent me. And it actually created a very nice balance between the literary stories and the all-out screamers. I also added an explanatory note before or after each story, depending on which seemed the more fitting position. Next collection: selected by Tarot.

The unabridged digital audiobook edition includes all fourteen stories, but the physical book-on-cd versions of the stories are spread out over several products. "L.T.'s Theory of Pets" is the only story not included in any of the book-on-cd collections, but rather as a standalone product.

Of the stories King wrote for this collection, two became films and another is in the works. The novella Riding the Bullet became a direct-to-video film by the same name, released in 2004 and directed by Mick Garris, who made many films and TV miniseries of King's works, and the film 1408 (2007) appeared in theaters, starring John Cusack. "The Death of Jack Hamilton" was adapted for the screen for the first time as part of King's "Dollar Baby" deal,[1] and an official teaser trailer for the film was released on September 1, 2012, with an expected release date in 2013.[2]
