}}The Dark Tower is the sixteenth concept album by Nox Arcana, released as the soundtrack for The Dark Tower book series by Joseph Vargo.[4][5][6][7][8]

Narratives at the beginning and end of the album provide the storyline of an ancient castle inhabited by a vampire and haunted by ghosts and living gargoyles. The story is set during the time of the First Crusade. The music is predominantly instrumental with piano and pipe organ melodies accented by choirs, chanting, tolling bells and sound effects. Like other Halloween-themed albums by Nox Arcana, this one also contains a secret interactive puzzle that relates to the characters from the books.

The Dark Tower CD ranked at No. 1 on the Amazon Halloween music category for 28 weeks.[9]
