Dark Tower Tie-Ins :spoiler:

[Mitchel]

Hey, forgive me if this has been discussed / posted earlier... but I have something to observe:

We all know how King's books all tie together somehow... Richard Fannin / Ageless Stranger being Randall Flagg in The Stand; Louis Creed going to dig up Gage and noticing the Insomniac's window on in that apartment... etc...etc... etc...

Anyway, in Wolves, the second time the Ka-tet goes Todash, they see the "Vagrant Dead" in NYC. One of them was a little girl in a blue dress with her head all busted up. I think this is / was Louis Creed's cousin Ruthie from Pet Sematary. Remember that? Louis worked for his uncle, who was a mortician, and his uncles daughter (his cousin) Ruthie, was killed when some kid got the keys to a payloader and was joyriding, and crashed into the car Louis's uncle and cousin Ruthie were in, killing Ruthie.

Discuss.

Interesting question. I read Pet Sematary lots of years ago and I can hardly remember it so I don't have any opinion.

Im pretty sure that Flagg is a character in The Eyes of The Dragon as well.

Yeah... there are a LOT of little things. In Wolves of Calla, when Roland is talking to Eisenhart; Roland rolls a smoke from the fresh tobacco he got from Callahan, and Eisenhart pops a match alight with his thumbnail to light Roland's smoke... Remember Jud Crandall doing the same thing in Pet Sematary to light the Chesterfields he smoked?

It's a really great book. SK wrote it to his children. It's like a fairytale but for that it's really good.

I LOVE it when you start connecting the dot's of the S.K universe :) Me too :) especially when it's DT

ya know that's one book i've actually NEVER read from SK. i dunno why i never got around to it to be honest. but i didn't. i grew up on the film & i just LOVE the film. & i thought it was well cast. i used to have nightmares of that little boy Gage as a kid. he he. anyways. growing up watching the film even without having read the book.

i of course didn't expect it to 100% follow the book. most of the times they don't. & though since than we have gotten films that follow the book better than they used to. but either way going in watching a King movie any king movie for that matter i don't expect it to follow the book or the short story. & i'm thrilled of course when it does. & for the tie-in's i just love those.

there was a site i have NO idea if it even is still around to be honest. it wasn't this one this was back in i think the late 90's. i was surfing the web & the site was really about JUST that connections not to the DT series. but each of his various books. at the time i don't think it really occcured to the admin on that site to even acknowledge the DT references., bear in mind i may be wrong on some of that. anyways i printed it it all out. & it was like 20 or 30 pages he he. prolly LONGER NOW if the site is still around. but it may have mentioned the DT uninverse. i was going through my stuff

cleaning really. & i found these old papers i had printinted out. i had forgot that i even had the damn things. so i didn't get around to look at which site it was or what the paper said. that's why i say forgive me if i have some of the info wrong.
