Stephen King Pins and Buttons
Description: Juniper Hill is a fictional psychiatric facility that is featured in many King novels, including It, Needful Things, and The Dark Half. The asylum has been home to a number of King’s villains — after all what's spookier than mismanaged asylum? But the facility is completely fictional. There are actually a couple of real places in Maine that are named “Juniper Hill,” including a middle school and boutique hotel, they have no connection to the asylum described in King’s novels or Castle Rock.
Description: The Losers Club are major protagonists of the Stephen King multiverse. Serving as the main protagonists of the novel IT, and are cameo characters in 11/22/63, and Insomnia, while being mentioned in Dreamcatcher. They are group of seven preteen misfit children who all lived in the fictional town of Derry, Maine. The group is first formed in the summer of 1958 and is led by Bill Denbrough. They reunite in Derry 27 years later in 1985 on the strength of an old and nearly forgotten promise, except for Stan Uris. They are archenemies of Pennywise and the arch-rivals of Henry Bowers.
Description: Castle Rock (sometimes referred to as the Rock) is a fictional town appearing in Stephen King's fictional Maine topography, providing the setting for a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Castle Rock first appeared in King's 1979 novel The Dead Zone and has since been referred to or used as the primary setting in many other works by King. As a native of Durham, Maine, King was inspired by his hometown when creating Castle Rock. The town name is taken from the fictional mountain fort in William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies. Other notable fictional towns that King has used as the central setting in more than one work include Derry and Jerusalem's Lot.
Description: Jerusalem's Lot, Maine (often shortened to 'Salem's Lot or just the Lot) is a fictional town and a part of writer Stephen King's fictional Maine topography. 'Salem's Lot has served as the setting for a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories. It first appeared in King's 1975 novel 'Salem's Lot, and has reappeared as late as his 2019 novel The Institute (see list below). The town is described as being located in Cumberland County, between (or including parts of) the towns of Falmouth, Windham, and Cumberland, near the southern part of the state about 10 miles north of Portland. A map on King's official website, though, places 'Salem's Lot considerably further north, approximately in Northwest Piscataquis.
