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)
“I’ve gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground.”
—Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. Baseball the Beautiful, Links Books (1970)
“The old Romans all wished to have a king over them because they had not yet tasted the sweetness of freedom.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“The ancients of the ideal description, instead of trying to turn their impracticable chimeras, as does the modern dreamer, into social and political prodigies, deposited them in great works of art, which still live while states and constitutions have perished, bequeathing to posterity not shameful defects but triumphant successes.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
