I'm yet to read the story in
Hearts In Atlantis (I didn't realise that Ted made an appearance in it until last Christmas when I re-read the entire
Dark Tower series and made the connection in my head after hearing that
Hearts In Atlantis had
Dark Tower connections). In
The Dark Tower, though, it's explained that Ted escapes the complex and the world itself in which the Breakers are...breaking, thanks to the help of another Breaker with extraordinary powers (I won't say more because you need to read the books and that would spoil it
) But, as I assume happens in Hearts In Atlantis, he is caught and returned his breaking job.
And
Black House is connected to the
Dark Tower as well? (I know
most books are in some vague way, but I didn't know that one was). I have a large collection of King books and only have a couple that still need to be read, and
Hearts in Atlantis and
Black House just happen to be two of them
