Mention of Straub's Floating Dragon?

[St. Troy]

I seem to recall that, somewhere in King's writing, one of his fictional characters mentioned Peter Straub's novel Floating Dragon, but I can't recall what book this was or what was said about it. I believe it was around 15 - 20 years ago, as I saw this (King's mention) before ever having read FD, which I first did over 10 years ago.

Of course it's no good googling this...

Does anyone recall this?

But I’m not sure that’s what’s going on at all, you know. There’s a novel by a man named Peter Straub called Floating Dragon—have you read it?”
Gardener had shaken his head.
“Well, it postulates something similar to your Agent Orange from Space or Paraquat of the Gods or whatever you called it.”
Gardener smiled.
