Widow's Breakfast

I don't know if anyone noticed this or if it is worth mentioning. One of the boys in Widow's Breakfast is named Gage. I was trying to think if a knew someone named Gage, it was so familiar. Then I realized that that was the name of the little boy in Pet Sematary. Just thought that might be worth mentioning.

    It definitely is worth mentioning! Do names of any other Stephen King characters crop up in this book, I wonder?

    Incidentally, some have speculated that King named the back-from-the-dead child in Pet Sematary after the infamous 19th-century case of Phineas Gage, who survived a horrific brain injury, in a sense.
