Most of Stephen King‘s books are connected to one another, and many of them cleverly reference the horror icon’s other stories in passing. Larger ties between narratives are easy to follow, like the fact that Randall Flagg appears in multiple stories or that locations like Castle Rock crop up over and over. However, King’s self-referential nods to his other works are fun to pick up on, especially for readers familiar with his backlist. These Easter eggs are entertaining, even when they have little to no bearing on the overall plot.
