I happen to know that Lord of the flies was a big-influence on our Mr King

with A very, VERY quick once-over of the book and I saw a Castle Rock chapter
and a Henry and a Jack and a Ralph . Im sure there are many more names and even places or Ideas in that story that WE (constant readers) would find familiar

Id like someone who's read it to chime in here and tell me any other ...
co-winky-dinks , there are in that book. please

Walter Oobleck is very good at these link things, he keeps track of stuff like this. Maybe he'll weigh in.

I believe mr King meant for IT to be his LotF.
I believe that the IT universe is the Center
of the King multi-verse, all the other universes spring from IT, except MAYBE
Roland's universe.

It may well be that the IT universe and many of the others
(Carries, Fire-starters,Salem's lot,Shinning,Dr Sleep - etc) are ONE AND THE SAME.
,
Certain universes are separate , dark tower, The Stand, The mist, (have to be stand alone)

the Castle Rock books maybe all from the same universe... but separate from all others
(the girl//tom Gordon maybe with in this universe)

WE (many of us) want to categorize AALL of kings stories into universe and multi-verse.
but we CAAANNNNTTTT .... because Mr King WONT HELP US !!!!!! UUUUHUGUGUGUGUGUGGGG
(I hope King reads this)
