Dreadcentral has a very interesting article on how the Haven series "differs from its source material." Now, I've got to admit, this is something I've been wondering about. Haven has sounded fromt he beginning like many things -- but none of those many things included the Colorado Kid!

Here's the relevant King information -- check the link for the fulls story.

Several comments along the lines of "Haven seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the Stephen King novel (The Colorado Kid) on which it's based" got us wondering about the upcoming Syfy series. Luckily, thanks to the magic of Twitter, the show's co-writer, Sam Ernst, has cleared things up a bit.

According to Ernst, who is scripting the series along with his partner Jim Dunn, "We basically absorbed the whole book and then added a supernatural storyline and back story for the characters."

He also added, "Stephen King read the supernatural storyline we added and the mythology and emailed us: 'sounds like a blast!' Then Jim and I drank."
