In the hardback editions of the later novels in the Dark Tower series King wrote an introduction explaining that (and I am paraphrasing) he has always wanted to write the series and that all his other books are shadows of this series, that is to say that he always kept drifting back to the world of the Dark Tower series. My favorite dark tower reference is in the Talisman's sequel Black House (co-written with Peter Straub) in which the helpful character some may say deus ex machina Parkus helps Jack break down the physhic/slave engine.

Although it is easy for King now to say that all of these connections between his work were pre-existing since these (Dark Tower Series) were some of the last novels he created, at least until he cranks out some more.
