VAGRANT DEAD (VAGS)

When our ka-tet travels to NEW YORK CITY via TODASH at the beginning of Wolves of the Calla, they see a number of these forlorn creatures wandering around the city. A vag (or one of the vagrant dead) is a person who died so suddenly that he or she does not yet comprehend that he or she is dead. Sooner or later the vag will pass on, but seeing one walking around with his or her death wounds still oozing is disconcerting (to say the least). A vag who died in a frontal collision walks the streets bleeding, his head split like a melon. One who died on an operating table may still have his or her incisions hanging open. When Roland was a boy, BURNING CHRIS (father of ALAIN JOHNS) warned him that traveling todash meant such meetings were possible.

VAMPIRES

In Wolves of the Calla, the people of CALLA BRYN STURGIS state that THUNDERCLAP is a land of vampires. They call these bloodsuckers “brokenhelm undead ronin” or the “WARRIORS OF THE SCARLET EYE.” Although we later learn that END-WORLD is actually populated by CAN-TOI and TAHEEN—animal-headed creatures who serve the CRIMSON KING—MID-WORLD and End-World contain plenty of vampires, though not all of them subsist on blood alone. In the short story “The Little Sisters of Eluria,” we met the vampiric LITTLE SISTERS, a tribe of blood- and semen-drinking wraiths that wandered the land posing as a religious sect of healers. In The Gunslinger and The Waste Lands, we learned about the Speaking-Ring spirits that required a sexual payment from any human who dared to pause within the circumference of their enchanted circles. (While in her wraith form, MIA, SUSANNAH’s demon possessor, was a similar type of sexual vampire.) And finally, in The Dark Tower, we encounter DANDELO, a giant were-insect who feeds upon human emotion.

However, even if we narrow our present category so that it includes only the bloodsucking variety of vamps, we can still add three more types of vampires to our list. They are called (quite appropriately) TYPE ONE vampires, TYPE TWO vampires, and TYPE THREE vampires (see below).
