Dedication

King dedicated this collection of stories to Thomas Williams, a writing instructor who taught for many years at the University of New Hampshire. Since the book's publication, King has singled out Williams' 1974 National Book Award-winning novel The Hair of Harold Roux as a favorite of his,^[1] and one he returns to "again and again."^[2]

The dedication reads:

In memory of

THOMAS WILLIAMS,

1926–1990:

poet, novelist, and

great American storyteller.

Adaptations

"Sorry, Right Number" was telecast as a season 4 episode of Tales from the Darkside in 1987 before it was published in Nightmares & Dreamscapes. "The Moving Finger" was adapted into a season 3 episode of Monsters in 1991. "Chattery Teeth" was adapted into a segment of the 1997 film Quicksilver Highway. "The Night Flier" and "Dolan's Cadillac" were both adapted into films of the same respective names, in 1997 and 2009, respectively.^[3]^[4]^{[better source needed]} "Home Delivery" and "Rainy Season" were adapted into short films.

Miniseries

During the summer of 2006, TNT produced the eight-episode miniseries Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. Despite the title, three of the eight stories were not culled from the book: "Battleground", from Night Shift (1978); and "The Road Virus Heads North" and "Autopsy Room Four", from Everything's Eventual (2002).
