I meant to ask this to FPW, yet not once in the three days of us being together at Necon did I think of it - not even when he was signing the first page of "The Barrens" out of Cthulhu 2000.

Upon re-reading "The Barrens," I was astonished to notice the name Creighton pop up (as the surname of one of the main characters, who I might add was apparently a psychology student at one point...). And of course, anyone who has read Bloodline knows of the Creighton Institute.

So, there being "no more coincidences" in the worlds of the Otherness, does this mean something? Or is it more like Stephen King setting his story "Jerusalem's Lot" in the same town as 'salem's Lot, yet neither work really reflects upon the other in any other way?
