Nicodemus wants to be God

As long as he doesn't write himself into the series like Stephen King did with the Dark Tower.

You know, aside from the obvious self-aggrandizement and inflated sense of importance it takes to do that particular brand of metafiction, has anyone ever counted the number of times Stephen King has written his accident into stories? It's been, like, six times in the last decade. It was even in Kingdom Hospital, and the man responsible suffered a horribly karmic death for hitting an artist with his car.

Can't fault him on that, it's his form of therapy.

When I read the Dark Tower Cycle, it was kind of distracting for him to be written into the book.

I mean, doesn't he usually make a cameo in any movies that are made out of his works?  Is he going to play himself in this one?  I haven't seen the Dark Tower movie that just came out, but I kind of doubt that part was even included.

His writing took a big hit when he took a big hit. The best of the bunch afterwards, at least what I have read, was the JFK book.

The Dark Tower is the only post Van ... incident, work I've read of his since the accident.

I could be mistaken but I don't think you are missing much.

Apparently the van didn't either.

[wardenferry419]

OOOHHH, good one!

Bah-dump-bump.

Nic may want to be a god, but it was his daughter who died for us. Maybe she got the Jesus mantle and we will see her again in future books?

I think Hades had different plans.

[wardenferry419]

Yeah, tortured by thousands of paper cuts. LOL.

Time can pass differently there, so maybe she will return to Dresden's timeline after three days. I thought the parallel was too much for it to be accident.

No....  She didn't die for people.  She did it for her father.
