I am pretty sure I read this in one of Stephen King's collections of short stories in high school possibly around 1995 or 1996.

The main character is a detective who meets the guy who created him. then(view spoiler)[ gets dragged into the real world (hide spoiler)]

I think it's "Umney's Last Case" from the Nightmares And Dreamscapes collection.
