Hmmmm, Dark Half + The Talisman = Lisey's Story? Yeah, that's pretty close now that you mention it. It's nothing you could directly relate straight across the board, but I do think it is near enough to call it so. Still, I really liked it, although I admit I could be a little biased toward that one since I have an autographed copy.
Oh, and Lixy... To hear Mr. King tell it, writing is in his blood. He'll stop writing when his heart stops beating.

Oh, don't get me wrong Aqua - I did enjoy them, so I guess it was feelings of deja vu with both.
Cell vs. Stand : Raggedy Man vs. Randall Flagg, two distinct "camps", long journey to. the end? Like you, I didn't care too much for the ending either.
Lisey's Story : I agree, no direct correlations, but I still feel there are rather a lot of similarites there.
Autographed copy, huh?
