Unanswered Questions (MAJOR Conspiracies/All the Rage/Crisscross SPOILERS) - Barry Lee Dejasu - 06-24-2004
I just thought of something; or rather, a few things.
- In Conspiracies, an entire house disappeared one night (albeit in the already-strange town of Monroe).
- In All the Rage, if there never was a real Jersey Devil, well...now there is.
- In Crisscross, Brady's deep-in-the-woods cabin (*shudders at the memory of what happened in there*), there is still that trapdoor to a secret room where a certain book is being held...
I know, these and other issues may be resolved, and then again they may not, but...hoo, it'd be nice to know more about what happened later on in relation to them.

Some loose threads are intended for eventual tying up, some are intentionally left hanging so that people will wonder about them.

I remember when my mom turned me on to FPWs books; she owned The Keep and The Tomb. Loved them both absolutely. She picked up The Touch and Reborn, but by that time (even then!), Reprisal was almost impossible to find.
It wasn't till about a year later that I was able to find one at a used book dealer (I wasn't quite the internet fiend then), along with Nightworld, since by that time I'd found out that they constituted some kind of cycle.
I remember giggling like a girl while reading Nightworld as FPW tied all those awesome books together--I had assumed Jack died at the end of The Tomb. Had no idea about the short stories, or that there was a sequel on the way, or anything.
Loose ends can be great. But when they get tied together in a *completely unexpected* manner (as in Nightworld with quite a few of his books), it's like extra payoff earned on all those other novels.

I wondered about that.
