Amazon has this collection called The Dark Tower and Other Stories compiled by Walter Hooper. Supposedly they were unpublished works of C.S. Lewis' that his secretary (Hooper) saved from being burned. You could read some of the reviews (there is one that lists the table of contents and whether or not it's known to be authored by C.S. Lewis or not). http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Tower-Other-Stories/dp/0156027704/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196918032&sr=1-1
You might want to check the site Into the Wardrobe (a C.S. Lewis site, I think it's the official site since his stepson - Douglas Gresham - has something to do with it) here: http://cslewis.drzeus.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6836&sid=caf8c3364b496f26d03d2b6953a99aa6 and http://cslewis.drzeus.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5066 - they talk about The Dark Tower. They also list The Dark Tower and Other Stories in the "C.S. Lewis works" section http://cslewis.drzeus.net/books/fiction.html

Hard to know as they were "found" posthumously. It could have been that they were based on real ideas by Lewis, but written by the man who found them. Or they could be a complete forgery, and the man never found them at all. Or Lewis could have written them. They are all possibilities. And unfortunately, we will probably never know.

It appears that Stephen King wrote The Dark Tower. It's a series as well as the title of the final volume of that series.
