Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which book would you find these characters: Michael Gallatin, Harry Sandler, Wiktor?

Answer: The Wolf's Hour

A very clever take on the werewolf tale. Hard to resist.

2. In 'Swan Song', Evil seeks out to destroy good in a terribly changed world. What changed the world?

Answer: Nuclear war

Swan was able to 'wake up' the soil after a nuclear holocaust destroyed the land. The 'Army of Excellance' sought Swan in order to feed its troops.

3. What was the name of the town terrorized in 'Stinger'?

Answer: Inferno

A very strange entry for McCammon. May have gotten the idea here for Kevin Bacon flick 'Tremors.'

4. What novel features these colorful characters: Pelvis Eisley, Bright Girl, Clint and Flint?

Answer: Gone South

Best non-horror for McCammon. You feel sorry for every character in this novel, yet they're so strange and wonderful you can't stop reading. This would make a great movie, Bruce Willis could star.

5. In 'Mine', what was Mary Terror's real name?

Answer: Mary Terrell

Mary was one sick puppy.

6. Where have we met these characters? Boone, Rix, Newlan and Nathan Tharpe, Raven Dunsten?

Another novel that would do well on film.

If you liked King's 'The Stand', chances are this will become your new best favourite. The best horror story ever written.

Answer: They Thirst

Modern day vampires on the loose in Los Angeles, great reading.

9. What town was 'Boy's Life' set in?
