Stephen King's The Dark Tower series seems to me to be a reflection of LotR in a way that runs deeper than some references or ripping off the plot. In one of the books King also includes some grumbling about the deus ex machina use of 'wise f**** elves' (forgive the profanity, I'm quoting) as a plot device.
