 Welcome to Church of the Chair, where we never sleep. I'm your host, E, and today we're winding the death watch. If you're new around here, I need to give you a warning. In this series, I will be spoiling all of Stephen King's books, so if you haven't read them all, I suggest you click away now. You've been warned. Today, we're talking about one of Stephen King's most underrated books, and that is Insomnia. If I had to place Insomnia on my Best of Stephen King list, it would definitely be in the Top 10, and yes, I will be redoing my Top 5, 10, and 20, and ranking them all in order again at some point in time, so if you're looking for those videos, they're coming back. Now, let's get on to how Insomnia ties in to the Dark Tower and the rest of the Stephen King universe at large. Insomnia takes place in Derry, Maine, the same place where it takes place, and even certain sections of 11-22-63 involving Richie and Bev. That is part of the King universe connection, but also Ben Hanscom and Mike Hanlon are both mentioned in Insomnia. Mike Hanlon getting multiple mentions. And of course, we can't forget that Gage's shoe, Gage from Pet Cemetery, his shoe is in the Bald Doctor's lair. I believe the Bald Doctor's name is Atropose, even though there's three of them. So that's the overall Stephen King universe connections. What about the Dark Tower? Well, we have hard connects in this one. Insomnia is very important to the Dark Tower series because not only is Patrick Danville from the final book in the series, the Dark Tower mentioned in this one, not only mentioned, but he actually makes an appearance, but we also have a short hallucinatory episode that Ralph Roberts goes through where he sees Roland Deschain of Gilead. I got a very interesting comment on the original video that I want to share with you now. It's from words0217 and it says this, I never considered this and I blew right past the comment. As you can see, I didn't even heart it. I went back and did it retroactively, but I want to know what you guys think. So let's discuss that down there in the comment section. And finally, I did fail to mention Patrick Danville. I don't know how I failed to mention him, but I did fail to mention Patrick Danville in the original video. So I'm going to give a shout out to this commenter. Many thanks to the reader in black 2011 for pointing that out. I'm sorry I missed it. It was a huge goof on my part. But that's all the time I have for you today. If I missed anything, if you have any corrections of anything that I said in this video, or if you'd like to share theories of your own, please do so down there in the comments. But until next time.
