Links To King's Other Works
The character Dick Hallorann appears in King's It, as a young soldier who saves the life of the father of one of the novel's main characters at an African-American nightclub. The Regulators, written by King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, refers to the novel The Shining, and the film version is also referenced in one of the The Dark Tower novels. A poem that Jack Torrance reads in The Shining (actually written by King as an undergraduate) resurfaces in Lisey's Story. In Misery, Annie tells Paul that she once knew an artist who was heading to the mountains to sketch the ruins of the Overlook Hotel. She mentions that the caretaker went insane and burnt it to the ground. In King's The Stand, Mother Abigail refers to her gift of prophetic dreams as something her grandmother once called "the shining lamp of God, sometimes just the shine".

Famous quotes containing the words links to, links, king and/or works:
“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

““Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
