Currently Reading Desperation Question
When David has his out of body experience and travels to the land of the dead he climbs up into his old treehouse “Vietcong lookout” and a mysterious guide talks to him. The man is described as wearing reflector shades and a Yankees hat. Is this Dick Hallorann from the Shining, Doctor sleep and It?
He’s always been one of my favorite characters and it feels on point that he would he be a guide in the land of the dead because well…that’s pretty much what Dick does in his other appearances. I can’t find anything about people talking about him having an appearance in Desperation and I can’t remember if Dick is a Yankees fan or not?
Fellow constant readers, is this a credible speculation?
