Help - looking for author reference

In Bazaar of Bad Dreams, Stephen makes reference to author of what he perceives to be the best book about writing ever. Excerpt describes characters gathering around a fire from across a dark plain. Can anyone tell me the name of the author and/or the book?

Welcome calm! Someone will be along shortly, I'm sure, to answer your question.

I always thought Stephen King's own book "On Writing" filled that bill.

It's in the story note preceding "A Death," and it goes like this:

The Hair of Harold Roux, probably the best novel about writing ever published, Thomas Williams...
