Trivia / The Eyes of The Dragon

• Creator's Oddball: From The Guy who brought us a Haunted Hotel, an Evil Car, a child-eating Monster Clown and a Shrinking Violet with Psychic Powers, whose combined bodycounts could probably fill three graveyards, comes... a High Fantasy Novel. There's a reason for this, though....
• Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: Was published as such in 1984, three years before the book's official release.
• Written for My Kids: King wrote the book for his then-fourteen-year-old daughter Naomi Rachel King, who avoided her father's books because she disliked horror and preferred fantasy. The character Naomi Reechul is named after her.
  • Ben Staad, hinted at as the character Naomi's love interest, is named after Benjamin Straub, the son of King's good friend and fellow author, the late Peter Straub.
