Connections With Laymon's Other Works
The bulk of the novel's flashbacks take place at Belmore University, a fictional Liberal Arts college referenced in several of Laymon's novels (and based largely on his own experiences at Willamette University in Oregon). In addition, one of the girls quotes a passage from "Ulalume", poem by Edgar Allan Poe, which was the basis of Laymon's 2001 novel Night in the Lonesome October.

Famous quotes containing the words connections and/or works:
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“Only the more uncompromising of the mystics still seek for knowledge in a silent land of absolute intuition, where the intellect finally lays down its conceptual tools, and rests from its pragmatic labors, while its works do not follow it, but are simply forgotten, and are as if they never had been.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
