Links To King's Other Works
- Kurt Dussander remembers using a "bank in the State of Maine" to purchase stocks under an assumed name. He goes on to say that the banker who bought them for Dussander went to jail for murdering his wife a year after he purchased them. He even references Andy Dufresne by name — he remembers the name because "it sounds a little like mine." Andy Dufresne is a central character in "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", the novella preceding "Apt Pupil" in Different Seasons.
- When confronting Todd about his murders, Dussander mentions a serial killer named "Springheel Jack". This killer is the focus of "Strawberry Spring", a short story published in the King collection Night Shift (1978).
- The guidance counselor Ed French mentions his hotel room is number 217, the same as the famous Overlook Hotel room in King's The Shining.

Surcharged and sultry with a power
That works its will on age and hour.”
