Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What happens to Howard in 'Autopsy Room 4' that makes people believe he is dead?

Answer: He was bitten by a snake

A snake bit Howard while he was golfing. Lucky for him someone found the snake in his golf-bag...Sorry, no comment on how the coroner found out Howard was alive. If you can't remember, you'll have to read it again. :-)

Answer: 'Long Ago and Far Away'

I don't think I'll ever go fishing again...

The First line of the story--"It was a Motel 6 on I-80 just west of Lincoln, Nebraska." I found this story very interesting. Does anyone else think it might be based on a true story?

Answer: He was shot

"Little Bohemia Shootout"

Answer: Vampires

This is one of the many stories linked to 'The Dark Tower' series. I can't wait until Part Five is published!

Answer: James Loved of family. Loved of God

Answer: A picture that changes
