Synopsis
The Dark Man began as a poem Stephen King wrote in college, inspired by a vision of a faceless man in cowboy boots and denim, endlessly walking lonely roads. This mysterious figure would later develop into Randall Flagg, one of King’s most famous villains. Here, he remains an eerie wanderer, carrying secrets and darkness as he roams. King’s poem asks haunting questions: Where is this Dark Man going? What evil has he done?
