Alright, so I started "Insomniac" by Stephen King a few days ago. It's pretty good as far as his books go. I'm about 200 pages in and there are some commonalities in this book that I noticed. In "Insomniac", theres a man named Mike Hanlon. At first, this name struck me as simply familiar, but then I thought about it and looked it up. Turns out Mike Hanlon is one of the main characters in "It". But in "Insomniac", thus far Mike's only been a cameo character, meaning his name was just mentioned once or twice.
There was also a young homosexual man named Adrian Mellon and he was thrown into a river after being brutally bitten and stabbed to death in "Insomniac". This is basically the exact thing that happened in "It" only the poor soul was attacked by an evil clown thing.
Also, so far out of all the books I've read, 3 have been in Derry, Maine. So, if you decide to move there, you may be a few doors down from an old insomniac that sees things, you may have a crazy woman with a hatchet up the street trying to swoon a writer ("Misery"), and you may have a clown haunting your drains, in which case, I'd suggest you run.
But I think most of his books are based in Maine. Not all, but quite a large majority. This could possibly be because he actually lives there.
So enough of my ranting. I just wanted to see what others thought or noticed. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the horror king, i just happened to notice these things.
So go read a King book today! You'll be amazed of the similarities! lol. no, but really, he's really...creative. (that's a good word for it).

Super-meep out!
