Are you insinuating that these are actually Jim's journals, and he's just changing the names of the people involved?  ;D

lol no but it's something to think about  :o
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

My reason for "Dark Pact" for the Blackstaff book is that I think that whomever takes up the Blackstaff makes a pact with someone, or something.  Also there could be a reason Harry has to take up the staff similarly to taking up the Winter Knight mantle.
"Dark Pact" is fine, it was the "Black Staff" one that seemed too pointed.

I don't think Jim, or the publisher would use a book title with profanity.
Jokes, man, just jokes.  I just liked the double meaning, and the image of harry saying it as REALITY ITSELF IS RENT ASUNDER AND HORDES OF NIGHTMARISH TERROR POUR THROUGH.  Because, what else is there to say?  ;D

How about the last book in the series being ....

Now there's a tell-tale-sign.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

Hmm, makes sense actually, in that it's reminiscent of Changes.  Though by virtue of that, it might be another to break the naming scheme.  In that light I might have hoped for "Ragnarok" if Disney lawyers dont get involved.

Or Armageddon, if Touchtone doesn't get their panties in a wad.

Overall I dont think anyone tends to care about book titles unless its another unusually famous book (no modern but unrelated Lord of the Rings or whatever), but movie titles seem to get recycled every few years anyway.  The only time I recall hearing about movie titles becoming a big thing was because they wanted to make an Airbender movie but James Cameron had long ago reserved that for his 3D opus

It's kind of happening with books too.

Ghost Story.  I read Ghost Story when I was a kid.  It was by Peter Straub and was a kind of scary book.
