let's take a look at that Harry Dresden.

Many people have said versions of "The Dresden files are Buffy the Vampire Slayer staring Philip Marlow".

Obviously they're talking about the series BtVS, but that itself came from the original movie, which I would personally say is "Salim's Lot staring Barbie".

Then we look at Salims Lot, and realize that it is various clippings from "Dracula" combined with Lovecrafts work. Then we follow the Lovecraft theme and try to track it through the rest of Steven Kings work and get totally lost.

TL;DR It's the DNA of stories you're talking about. All stories, when broken down, can be clearly seen as the products of their parents, Your stories parents are Lovecraft and Quartermain? That's fine, it's the way writing works. You might want to make sure Steven King hasn't already done that combination yet, though.

A thought semi related to above ramblings: Are tropes are nothing more than family resemblances?
