    Default SotC links or connections

    Does anyone know if there is a connection between Storm of the Century and any of King�s other works ? I know he's made references to minor characters from one book to another, but I didn't know if there were any links to (or from) this in anything else (eg. The Stand, Needful Things etc.), because I know it was written as a screenplay and not actually a novel !....BTW I'm new to the web page/group.......Hello !!

    Probably the main connection would be to Little Tall Island which is also the setting for Dolores Claiborne.

    The name "Hopewell" as in Davey, Mary and Stan was also used in The Langoliers ( Nick Hopewell).
    Use of the name Derry could refer back to "It".

    The use of "Legion"(Linoge)is sprinkled liberally through King's works...

    It just seems to me that there are a lot of similarities between Linoge and Leland Gaunt !

    besides the location in other kind books, it looks to me linoge's cane is similar to stu's at the end of the stand mini series. i compared the 2, and stu's looks way more 'kinder'.

    The name Dolores Claiborne was also mention by Little Tall's town manager.
