The Dark Tower
Gan
37
Gan also known as God or the Other is the creative overforce in the cosmology of Stephen King's universes. He is emerged from the primal chaos of the Prim, manifested himself as the Dark Tower in Mid-World. His wife is Bessa, who manifested herself as a rose. King's inspiration for the word remains unknown, but he may have taken it from a Hebrew word, which means, "garden." Gan's role in the novels is very much in line with the concept of God. Gan is almighty, being far stronger than IT and the Turtle.
