 Welcome to Church of the Chair, where if you see someone stealing baby supplies, no you didn't. I'm your host E, and today we're rebooting of Mice and Men. 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 work, so if you haven't read them all, I suggest you click away now. You've been warned. Today, we're talking about Blaze, by Richard Bach, by Stephen King. So how does Blaze tie into the Dark Tower series and the Stephen King universe in general? Let's get into that. First off, some places of note to mention. We have a mention of Castle County, which of course is where Castle Rock is located. We have Harlow, and we also have Shawshank Penitentiary gets a mention. This connection is a little more reaching, but there is a section in The Talisman that talks about a movie that Jack Sawyer's mother starred in called Blaze. Could it be another turn of the wheel? Could this be the movie adaptation of this book in yet another universe? Who knows, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention. Next up, we have a couple of reused names, and seeing as how we're in not only Castle County, but Maine, there are two names that stuck out to me, and that is the last name Merrill, and the last name Hanscom. And finally, we have a connection brought up by a viewer, further along in the original theorist series, the viewer theories became less and less, so I was happy to find this one from Bastards, Inc. that points out the initials R.I.F. found on a wallet in the book. Could it be Randall Flagg's wallet? Who knows. But thanks for the catch. That's all the time I have for you today. If I missed anything, if you have any corrections of anything I said in this video, or if you have theories of your own on how Blaze ties into the Dark Tower and the Stephen King universe in general, leave them down there in the comments. But until next time, I'm going to pet him and love him and treat him right for all of his days. All hail the chair.
