The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Not having read Infernal, I may be off-target but something about FPW's titles suggests to me the word glimpse as in A Glimpse of Hell or something along those lines.

"Signs and Portents" might work, but already taken, I think.

No, they always come up after class when I'm anxious to stop for sushi on the way home!

How about "Reckoning"? Kinda like in the movie "Tombstone"!

I kinda like that one. Wish I'd thought of it. Now that I think about it, was that suggested as a title of an earlier RJ book?

Fatal Visions
Darkness Invisible
Offending Eyes
Blind Sighted
Little play on words with "blind sided" and covers the darkness and visions aspects.
AC
Or how about Blind Sided?
Hmm. Some thought, and here are a few suggestions:
Impetus
Single word. Goes with Infernal a little bit, and describes Jack, kind of.
Refraction
Another single word. And actually relates a bit to "visions." After all, refraction is something that happens to light. In fact, the first word from the Wikipedia definition is just about the coolest sentence ever: "Refraction in geometric optics is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in velocity."
Descent
Pretty much just a cool word.
Cogs
Goes along with "precognition" as well as indicating how Jack sometimes feels like a pawn in a massive game between two huge powers. A "cog" in the machine, so to speak.

Throughout our history there are those ghosts

Victors hang in pictures, losers from ropes.
Regardless they all swing in the same boat.
