Song of Susannah is the sixth and penultimate book in the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King. This book picks up the story of Roland Deschain and his friends exactly where we left them in the previous book with the dilemma of having to find Susannah whilst still trying to save the Dark Tower.
Roland's ka-tet splits into 2 for this book, Roland & Eddie are sent to Maine, America to ensure Cal Tower signs over the plot of land in New York that contains the rose that is directly linked to the Dark Tower, whilst here they discover that another link to the towers safety could be a small time writer that goes by the name of Stephen King!! Jake & Father Callahan are at the same time sent to New York to search for a pregnant Susannah who is possessed by a demon...
This is probably my least favourite of all the books in the series, King is about the only writer around who would be arrogant enough to cast himself as an integal part of the plot of the story and this to me kinda lowers the brilliance of the whole Dark Tower Series. That said it's still an important read if you intend to complete the series.
