Answer: Nevada is God's country

The woman in the story was selling a pack of cigarettes to a "pallid young man". The phrase (in all caps) on her shirt was NEVADA IS GOD'S COUNTRY.

I would love to find a pair of Chattery Teeth described in this story!

2. "Sorry Right Number" was an episode from what T.V. show?

Answer: Tales From the Darkside

Spielberg rejected this story, so Stephen King took it to Richard Rubinstein who had a series called "Tales from the Darkside." Rubinstein bought the story the day he read it and it was later aired on this syndicated series.

3. "The Rainy Season" was about an infestation of what?

Answer: Toads

4. What city and State did Mary and Clark drive into in "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band"?

Answer: Rock and Roll Heaven, Oregon

Mary and Clark left Portland and got lost -- Eventually after traveling from dirt road to paved road continuously, they saw a sign that said "Welcome to Rock and Roll Heaven, Ore."

Lovely place to visit, but wouldn't want to live there...

5. What game show did Howard Mitla dream he was a contest on in "The Moving Finger"?

Answer: Jeopardy

6. What happened to "The House on Maple Street"?

Answer: It lifted off from the ground and blasted into the night

After the children locked "Daddy Lew" in the house on third floor, the kids bolted from house to see lift off. This house rose slowly and then gathered speed. It then "blasted" away. There is a great picture depicting this scene in the novel.

There are four children in this story.
Melissa the youngest, Brian, Laurie who was 11 years old and Trent.

From the very beginning of this story, there is talk about London. I also read that Stephen King was inspired to write this story while visiting Peter Straub while he was living in England.

Answer: .45

"The gun was in a bandolier holster and lay against my ribcage like a fist. It was Barney's .45, and I was glad of that."

According to the "Notes" section of this book, Stephen suggests this story was written by Bachman or George Stark..

Very interesting story. A great concept.
