Castle Rock is influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft . Lovecraft created a trio of reoccuring fiction small towns in New England called Arkham , Dunwich and Innsmouth . King has somewhat mimicked this idea of Lovecraft's with the towns of Jerusalem's Lot, Castle Rock, and Derry . King has openly admitted being a great fan of Lovecraft, calling him the "20th century's dark and baroque prince". The actual name for the city appears to have been taken from a geographical feature which appears in William Golding's novel '' Lord Of The Flies ''. OTHER CASTLE ROCKS The name of King's town would eventually become famous enough that it was used for a few other products other than King's writings. A monthly newsletter about Stephen King called '' Castle Rock '' was published from January 1985 through December 1989 . For most of this period it was edited by King's brother-in-law, Christopher Spruce. After the success of the film '' Stand By Me '' (an adaptation of King's novella '' The Body ''), director Rob Reiner decided to name his production company after King's town. This came to be known as Castle Rock Entertainment . WORKS IN WHICH CASTLE ROCK IS THE MAIN SETTING
