Don't know enough King to comment intelligently, sorry.

This is my problem as well.  I know The Dark Tower mainly through reading articles on the trope wikis, because apparently it's troperriffic.  And I had thought on my own about including it, or at least Stephen King in the story.  But the main problem is that I haven't read any of his books, and don't really want to.  I really like him as a person, when I see him in interviews, and he seems really intelligent and creative.  But based on the few movies of his books that I've seen, there's a lot of exploration of the darker parts of human nature that I'm just not interested in.

Which is all very frustrating because if parts of fiction started getting incorporated into reality, Stephen King would be among the first people to notice.  So in not writing about him, we lose some verisimilitude.
