Honestly, I can't recall a specific Stephen King short story directly related to Cthulu. King's horror is often more about psychological and supernatural elements within the human world, rather than a direct adaptation of the Cthulu mythos. However, his use of things like eldritch abominations and the fear of the unknowable in some of his works could potentially be seen as having a loose connection to Cthulu - like concepts, but no clear - cut short story comes to mind.
Yes, Stephen King has some works that touch on Lovecraftian - inspired themes which are related to Cthulu. His writing often delves into the realm of the strange and the supernatural, and the Cthulu mythos, with its cosmic horror elements, can be a source of inspiration for him. For example, some of his stories might incorporate the sense of overwhelming, unknowable horror that is characteristic of the Cthulu mythos.
I'm not sure specifically if there is one short story that is solely about smoking. But in his works, smoking can be a minor detail like a character smoking a cigarette to relieve stress during a tense situation. His stories are so diverse that it could be tucked away in one of his many short stories.
Yes, there might be. Stephen King often delves into dark and disturbing themes in his works. While I'm not certain if he has a specific short story directly related to BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill), his body of work is filled with stories that explore the minds of killers and the horror of criminal acts.
One of Stephen King's short stories might be 'The Boogeyman' which could potentially have some connection to a pillow in the sense of a child's fear at night while in bed with a pillow. It's a story full of psychological horror where the unseen entity preys on people's fears, and a pillow could be part of the bedroom setting that adds to the overall sense of dread.
As far as I know, Stephen King has not written a short story that is explicitly about John Dillinger. King typically delves into themes like the supernatural, small - town horrors, and the human psyche. John Dillinger, being a bank robber from a different era, doesn't seem to be a common subject in King's body of work. However, it's not impossible that there could be some allusion or minor connection in one of his more obscure works.
Horror is a very likely theme. Stephen King is famous for his horror stories, so even the untitled ones might follow this pattern. It could be about some kind of supernatural entity or a terrifying situation.
As mentioned before, there's no clear - cut 'Stephen King Island'. But if we were to imagine, perhaps themes of isolation, like in his other works, would be strong. Characters might be cut off from the outside world, leading to a sense of helplessness and a magnification of internal and external threats.
Well, 'The Body' is quite notable. It has a strong sense of coming - of - age. It's about a group of boys on a journey to see a dead body. It's filled with King's signature ability to create vivid characters and a sense of place.
I think 'Survivor Type' is also very interesting. It's a rather dark and gory story about a man stranded on an island and what he has to do to survive. It really shows King's ability to explore the darker side of human nature.
The theme of madness often appears. The characters in these hotel - related stories can be driven to madness by the strange and often unexplainable events that occur in the hotels. For instance, in 'The Shining', Jack's mental state deteriorates rapidly in the Overlook Hotel. Also, the theme of the supernatural is prevalent. There are ghosts, apparitions, and otherworldly forces at work in these hotel settings.
