Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Wolfgang Hohlbein wrote a lot of books with his wife. What's her name?

Answer: Heike

Wolfgang and Heike Hohlbein won a prize for 1983's 'M�rchenmond'

2. What is the name of the Angel of Death in Hohlbein's book about a young man who learns that his father tested a drug on him?

Answer: Azrael

One of my favorites. 'Azrael' often reminds one of Stephen King, though Hohlbein will never reach King's quality. But it's great!

3. For experts: There's one particular first name that Hohlbein likes to use again and again. Which of the following names is it?

Answer: Frank

It's really funny, but there are a lot of Franks in Hohlbein's work. Remember Thirteen's friend in 'Dreizehn', the reporter in 'Spiegelzeit' or the architect in 'Das Druidentor'?

4. What is the pseudonym Julian's father uses when he performs his show in 'Spiegelzeit'?

Answer: Mister Mirror

'Mister Mirror's most famous trick is sending someone 'through the mirror'. This volunteer steps through the mirror and appears immediately in a box several meters away.

5. How is the name of the young policeman in 'Videokill' spelled?

Answer: Yaegher

Great thrilling novel about manipulated videos that make nightmares come true. Hello from Freddy Krueger... I don't like the ending.

6. In 'Spiegelzeit', what is the name of the girl that turns out to be Julian's sister?

Answer: Alice

Alice lives in the world behind the mirrors. Julian falls in love with her before he learns that she is his sister. By the way, that's another plot twist Hohlbein seems to like a lot: All the way through the whole story, you think that these two people are going to get together, but in the end they turn out to be brother and sister or something of the like.

7. What is the novel about the German mythology called?

Answer: Midgard

'Midgard' is one of his best, in my opinion. The Hohlbein couple tells the end of the ancient German world and the new beginning. It's just too bad that all the gods die.

8. Hohlbein wrote a book based on a U.S. television series. What series?

Answer: Dark Skies

The series took place in the fifties right after Roswell. It wasn't very successful; here in Germany they only showed the first season - I don't know if there were more than one.

9. Who of those characters does not appear in 'Dreizehn'?

Answer: Justin

'Dreizehn' was the first book by Hohlbein I read and I still think it's one of his best. I must have read it at least thirteen times...

10. In 'Die Prophezeiung', we hear of a school that burns down. In which book, which takes place in the same town, do these ruins play an important role?

Answer: Katzenwinter

The boarding school Aton attends in 'Die Prophezeiung' burns down shortly after Aton leaves. In 'Katzenwinter', Justin has to fight back the powers held by the Dark Tower which is part of the ruins. I recently came across an old Hohlbein book called "Magog" which is, again, set in Crailsfelden (although it's spelled with a K there), and apparently it tells the story of the school before both, Aton and Justin, heard of it. "Magog" is from 1990 or 1992. I read it, but I didn't like it as much as the others.
