 Welcome to Church of the Chair, where Nevada is mostly a long stretch of desert you cross to get to somewhere else. I'm your host, E, and today we're lathering ourselves up with soap and hitting the bars. Today, we're talking about Desperation by Stephen King. This hands down is one of his coolest covers. 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. There's no way around it, so if you haven't read all of his stuff, I suggest you click away now. He's been warned. So how does Desperation tie into the Stephen King universe and the Dark Tower series? Let's get into that. First up, we have the Desatoyah Mountains. In Wolves of the Kala, Jake Chambers ends up going to an area with Quonset Huts at the base of a mountain. It's a mining operation. And in Desperation, Desatoyah Mountains make another appearance. There are even scenes where the characters from Desperation go into these same huts, where they find relics and other clues leading to the mystery of the mines. Next up, the main antagonist in Desperation is Tak Anla. I believe that's how you pronounce it. And I believe that Tak is a demon from the Prim. Tak, T-A-K, also shows up in The Regulators. And I believe that Tak is what possessed the armor at the end of the talisman. And then we have Cynthia from Rose Matter. Cynthia, a side character in Rose Matter, is a main character in Desperation, and her twinner is also in Richard Bachman's The Regulators. Oddly enough, there were absolutely no comments with people's own theories on the original video that I posted, so no comments today. Sorry about that. Everybody in the comments section was mostly talking about whether they liked the book, disliked the book, or whether or not they agreed with me that the book kind of goes off the rails after the main characters leave the theater. At the same time, Colleen Trajian is cast aside and the mother character becomes Tak. Or if you prefer, the mother character is possessed by Tak. But that's all the time I have for you today. If I missed anything, if you'd like to make any corrections of anything I said in this video, or if you have theories of your own for Desperation, let me know down there in the comments. But until next time, Tak, I'll hail the Tak, I'll hail the Tak, I'll hail the chair.
