One of the things I like about his books is characters appearing from time to time in other books. A couple of characters from IT appear in 11/22/63 apparently just after IT has finished. King also appears later on in The Dark Tower as a fictional writer. I can’t quite remember but I think he is asked to rewrite a certain book about vampires.
Play in a league in Northumberland. Have done for nearly 30 years. Lucky enough to have witnessed Courtney Walsh and Ian Bishop in the younger days, actually Mark Wood too.
