10 Fantasy Series That Could Be The Next Game Of Thrones

10. The Dark Tower

Stephen King is considered one of the best horror authors around, but what is slightly lesser known is that he's also a premiere fantasy author as well. In fact, almost all of his horror stories - from the terrorizing clown from IT, to the abysmal monsters in The Mist, to the soul sucking vampires of 'Salems Lot - all connect back to his Magnum Opus, The Dark Tower. (Before reading further, just wipe the movie's existence out of your head. Which, honestly, shouldn't be that difficult.)

The Dark Tower is an eight book series, with spin-offs that include almost every other book Stephen King has written and also the very universe in which you are now reading this. It's a sci-fi Western fantasy detailing the rise of a dark lord to a tower representing the universe, and the works of a gunslinger and his companions to stop them.

Spoiler alert, almost all of them die horribly, in true Game of Thrones fashion. There is also a ton of sex, some of which involves invisible demons, and incest.

To put it simply, there is (almost) nothing that is more appropriate a succesor to Game of Thrones than the Dark Tower series. Supposedly, in some form or another, it is coming, but as to when or what form it will take, only the Turtle knows.
