![]() ![]() The main antagonist wears a red robe similar to that of the Crimson King. Roses are also mentioned several times in the novel. One of Edgar's major works is "Roses Grow from Shells." His ex-wife tattoos a rose onto her breast. Edgar refers to himself as a "gunslinger" (pg 433). There are several references to the Dark Tower Series. Dans ability to hide out in a memory is also a familiar theme in DT novels. The same seems to be true in Doctor Sleep/The Shining with the ghost of Horace Derwent as he has become a Monster in the lock box in Dan's mind where other ghosts became ash. Abra and Kyra from Bag of Bones could be twinners as they both communicate in a similar way (Smiley faces in spilled sugar etc)The overlook area is one of SK's thin places, where ghosts and other supernatural beings become the norm, the house in Bag of Bones is the same and in that book an "Outsider" from Rolands world possesses and enhances Sarah Tidwells ghost. And perhaps the events of the Shining were low men trying to get hold of Dan. Abra is the most powerful "wonderchild" that SK has introduced, and leads to thoughts of how powerful she (And Dan) would have been as breakers. It is possible that the True not are demons from Rolands world, there Turning in and Cycling out is possibly them being brought through to inhabit a human body. The True Knot member Silent Sarey has the ability to become "Dim". However Dan says "There are other worlds than these" at one point. ![]() Doctor Sleep has the feel of a DT novel, but not many connections. ![]()
