Yes. In Four Past Midnight there's a novella entitled Secret Window, Secret Garden that you should take a look at.

Thanks Blo. I have Four Past Midnight.I can't remeber all that well about the story. Its still pretty hazy. I'm going to reread Secret Window,Secret Garden later tonight.

You have some freaky memory there,Blo. What made you remember it in the first place? Surely it must have been something that triggered it.

I remember upon reading it that it was similarly themed to The Dark Half -- and I think there's another one ... but I may simply be thinking of another writer story -- Misery (of course).

Yeah, I often mistakenly think Misery as another parallel of this theme but its probably the similarity that all these stories deal with - the act of writing. But King is famous for weaving a connective component among his stories. Theres a link between Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne.

Something to do with a solar eclipse, as I recall. I thought it would be a theme that would continue in future novels, as the eclipse really was an insignificant matter to both plotlines (as I remember).

I liked Gerald's Game. I disliked Claiborne.

Yes, the solar eclipse and another thing. If i'm not mistaken...they see apparitions of each other. Both were Kings 'feminist' as was Rose Madder.

Come now, come now, children...

You're forgetting his 'Fight Club' story, and one of the most masterful of his pieces of early writing: "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet".

As well of the hints of duality in the odd yet warming "Umney's Last Case".
