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:
“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The mind, in short, works on the data it receives very much as a sculptor works on his block of stone. In a sense the statue stood there from eternity. But there were a thousand different ones beside it, and the sculptor alone is to thank for having extricated this one from the rest.”
—William James (1842–1910)
