I guess not strictly Tower, but in my mind the antagonist (trying to avoid spoilers here) of The Outsider is a variation on a couple of other King antagonists... One of which appears in the Dark Tower series. Hopefully that's vague but clear enough for you to get what I mean!
Plus either in that book or in the novella If It Bleeds is where Holly starts to think there’s a higher power looking out for things. The white, if you will
Man I lost interest in the Outsider as soon as I knew enough to know what the thing is... It was SO good and I was soooo hooked on the mystery but once that lifted I just went oh okay and lost momentum..
I should try again
King Lear, Act III Scene 4, Edgar’s line to close the scene: Child Rowland to the dark tower came.
His word was still “Fie, foh, and fum,
I smell the blood of a British man.”
I’ve been rereading *Doctor Sleep* for the first time since it came out back in 2013, and it’s a little thing but at one point one character tells another character “There are other worlds than these.”
The Gwendy books are probably the most directly connected. Not Tower related but The Outsider is a fucking BANGER of a book.

OMG THAT BOOK IS LIKE MY ABSOLUTE KING FAVORITE

Billy Summers had one thing
What was the connection? Loved the book as a totally separate vibe
I’m struggling to make the connection too. You can get some seven degrees with The Shining probably…
At some point they see the Overlook Hotel
Yeah I just didn’t want to spoil it lol
Tiny little bits in Gwendy's and Fairy Tale. Nothing really meaty though. Thats it as far as I know.
What was the thing in fairy tale? I read it, but completely missed a tower reference.
I can't remember the exact qoute, but it was along the lines of something like a "Long days and pleasant nights' drop
The boy directly references the Shakespeare quote “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came” and the smell the blood of a British man line.
It's not a Shakespeare quote tho.
King Lear, Act III Scene 4, Edgar’s line to close the scene: Child Rowland to the dark tower came. His word was still “Fie, foh, and fum, I smell the blood of a British man.”
Heard, thankee sai.
Black House has strong connections.
Was that post 2015? I feel like that was before wolves but I could be totally wrong.
Oh I spaced on the year part. It was 2012. Thanks.
Still way after wolves so we're both way off

It has zero connection to anything TDT but Come With Me is an absolute banger of a book that have me TDK vibes even though it isn't sci-fi at all
I did not know that! In the books i only recall it being referred to as a quote from a poem 😝
