[edit] Dark Tower Connections
I've removed the list of porported DT connections, as they are thin to say the least. Please note that the story was written in 1980, long before the bulk of the Dark Tower was written, and it seems to me highly unlikely that King would have added so many connections to this relatively obscure story while overlooking so many more obvious ones. I mean, The Talisman wasn't even explicitly connected until Black House in 2001, and its similarities are much more pronounced than "Crouch End"s. As much as I love The Dark Tower and enjoy sussing out the connection to Kings other works, it think that it is more than a reach to link this story, espescially on such tenous grounds. Finally, Kings "official" list of connected works, the bolded titles from Wolves of the Calla does not include Nightmares and Dreamscapes. To me, this is the final word. Barring King making a statement to the effect that Crouch End is connected, I think it is safe to say that it is not. Brian Schlosser42 21:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
