I guess he comes up with a lot of his stories by extrapolating from his real life like that--
The Shining was about his trip to Colorado combined with his early job struggles;
Pet Semetary was about his greatest fear, of his kid dying;
Christine was about his love of cars.
Okay, now this ghost voice is creepy.
All I know is that if I am ever in a coma, I certainly hope I don't dream of dank hallways and knuckled aardvarks.
