Linking The Stephen King Universe


One of the things that makes a Stephen King novel so much fun is the overlap with other books. It keeps you reading -- and re-reading! I found a list today of Stephen King "Crossovers." Stuff that links from one book to another.

They even have links between the Bachman books.

By the way, I wonder if even Stephen King could re-connect all the dots he's put out there.

Here's a few fun examples, but check the link for the full list:

  • THE TOMMYKNOCKERS—FIRESTARTER : After all the excitement was over in The Tommyknockers, “The Shop” came to Haven to investigate.
  • THE RUNNING MAN—IT : The Voight Field Jetport in The Running Man was located in Derry.
  • MISERY—IT : A Mrs. Kaspbrak is noted in Misery as being “a neighbor of the Sheldons when Paul was a boy.” Mrs. Kaspbrak was Eddie Kaspbrak’s mother in It.
  • THE SUN DOG (Four Past Midnight)—THE TALISMAN : During Kevin’s nightmare in The Sun Dog, he dreams he is a bum in Oatley, the same town where Jack Sawyer worked while he was traveling across America.
