Jonesy also tells Mr. Gray that the murders in Derry were committed by a psychopath who liked dressing up as a clown. Both novels feature a group of young friends who must unite to defeat a force of great evil.
The main catchphrase of the group of friends is 'SSDD' same shit, different day - a phrase used early on by Red in the film of The Shawshank Redemption. There are a few connections to the Dark Tower series as well; since it is King's "master universe" it is frequently the medium through which connections are made between King's novels: As a child, Duddits lived on 19 Maple Lane, and the football jersey number of his childhood tormentor Richie Grenadeau from whom Henry, Jonesy, Beaver, and Pete saved him is also 19, appearing on Richie's jersey and the Derry Tigers shirt that Richie and his friends tore from Duddits in the parking lot.
The number 19 is of great numerological significance in both Dark Tower series and the entire Stephen King universe. Also, the street where Duddits lives with his mother as an adult is named Dearborn. Another main character from the Dark Tower series, Eddie, has a brother that is named Henry—a main character in this novel.
The line, "o lost, a stone, a rose, an unfound door," appears in both Dreamcatcher and The Dark Tower. Enhancing other people's "special powers", such as what Duddits does, is something seen in the Dark Tower book 7 by Ted Brautigan. A character's last name is mistaken for Henreid at one point.

A large section of the book is dedicated to the main characters as young boys growing up in Maine, dealing with bullies, and overcoming their fears.
Does that sound familiar? Stand By Me and It certainly think so. So you get the coming-of-age stories that do well theatrically while also getting a chance to lean into horror. Unfortunately, that only works in theory, mostly because Dreamcatcher the book also works mostly in theory.
Dreamcatcher was written after the accident. So I wrote the whole thing longhand. Second of all, it kinda helps to make sense of all this craziness. Dreamcatcher takes a whole bunch of better Stephen King books, throws them in a blender, incorporates a ton of poop humor, and bakes in the oven only one-third as long as it should have.

User reviews Review. Top review. Begins beautifully-ends poorly. I have read Dreamcatcher and think it is one of King's most under-appreciated books. In an interview, King said his wife didn't care for it. King wrote it out on a yellow legal pad while he was recovering from getting hit by that van.
