Smokey Updike

Smokey Updike, from Oatley, New York, where they drank the beer and then ate the glass. Oatley, where there’d been something in the tunnel outside of town and where Smokey had kept him prisoner. Until— Prying eyes, false smile, brilliant white suit: I’ve met you before, Jack . . . where?

Black House explicitly recalls Smokey Updike of Oatley and Jack's work there, matching the Talisman captivity sequence.

Smokey Updike was no one to fool with—Smokey who wore a succession of paper fry-cook’s hats on his narrow head, Smokey with his large plastic mail-order dentures, grisly and somehow funereal in their perfect evenness, Smokey with his violent brown eyes, the scleras an ancient, dirty yellow.
