Hi.
I have not got any further with the Dark Tower books but have strayed back to the Gothic/ Supernatural with a few short ghost stories; 'A Legion Marches By' by John Hynam, 'Lost Hearts' by M.R James and 'Turnley Abbey' by Perceval Landon... all of which are fantastic. The word for them isn't scary but chilling.
There is a good story I read recently called 'Never Wake the Dead' which would be an amazing story for oral storytellers... and I believe that the story was by an anonymous author but it says its is attributed to be written by Johann Ludwig Tieck.
I have also picked up a book called 'The Air Loom Gang: The Strange and True story of James Tilly Matthews' by Mike Jay. James Tilly Matthews was a madman that lived in the 1700's and was in Bedlam Madhouse. He believed there was a machine called the Air Loom and it worked by animal magnetism,
"sending invisible rays to control the mind of its victims, forcing thoughts into their heads."
The machine was meant to be controlling a few politicians and generals in order to plunge Britain and France into war. It sounds like it is going to be a good read.
More to read for Ed.
Good- O.

Over and Out.
