I read this earlier (got curious). Jake, while living in Derry, has brief encounter with trick-or-treating father and little girl. The father calls his daughter Punkin...I guess that's what you were connecting to the novel Gerald's Game. I think it is interesting and even possible (judging by time period and that she is in Maine) but I'm not convinced. Was this the only connection?
...tenuous at best I'd say...it's not an uncommon nickname....I read this earlier (got curious). Jake, while living in Derry, has brief encounter with trick-or-treating father and little girl.

Exactly. My grandparents and uncles would call the young kids Punkin out of habit. A common term of endearment....tenuous at best I'd say...it's not an uncommon nickname....
Yeah, it's probably nothing.I read this earlier (got curious). Jake, while living in Derry, has brief encounter with trick-or-treating father and little girl.

I'm intrigued. Now I'm wondering if that was a connection in 11/22/63, after all. His Easter eggs are usually more pronounced but this one, at the very least, stacks up chronologically and geographically.Just found this looking it up in Gerald's Game. When it's the eclipse she's 10 going on 11, July '63. About her father "..who had comforted her at the age of six when a capering circus clown frightened her into tears,.." That puts it at '58 , IT's era.
It works for me, I prefer this tenuous Easter egg to the too obvious Bev and Richie one. Having just flicked through Gerald's Game and 11/22/63 on my kindle, I would say it is an Easter egg.I'm intrigued. Now I'm wondering if that was a connection in 11/22/63, after all.
