* Beginning with ''[[IT]]'', [[Stephen King]] began tying many of his novels into ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' series, to the point that almost every single novel he wrote during the early 2000s was somehow related to the epic. The process included bringing back a character he [[Put on a Bus]] (literally) in ''[[Salem's Lot]]'' and [[Retcon|retconning]] the [[Big Bad]] from ''[[The Stand]]'' into the Crimson King's [[The Dragon|Dragon]]. (Indeed, the Crimson King himself made his first appearance outside the Dark Tower series.) |

These were bookended by "[[The Dark Tower/Wizard and Glass|Wizard and Glass]]" in 1997 and the conclusion of the Dark Tower series in 2003-04. Plus the aforementioned incorporation of everything back to ''Salem's Lot'' and ''[[The Stand]]'', written before ''[[The Dark Tower/The Gunslinger|The Dark Tower]]''. |

** And lest we forget, '''Salem's Lot'' takes place in the same city as ''Jerusalem's Lot'', an earlier short story, confirmed to be in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]].
