The very first line of Storm Front was a clue that the case books are Harry's journals of past events. I think he completes writing the set of journals after the last case book and before the BAT. This has a similar effect of making Harry not safe.

I think you're right about the books being the journals, but I don't see how that's a clue.

As for the BAT being in the present, that'd be swell, but I hope to God he isn't going to write it in present tense. Present tense fiction is extremely irritating to read. Too many f*(&ing gerunds. Simple past FTW.

Glad someone got it.

Since the books are 'written' by Harry in the past tense, then if he dies, someone else will have to write it.  How do you write down the events of your own death when you are not there afterward?

Given Jim's predilection for torturing Harry, I don't see him letting the boy off the hook while he's still alive.

He hasnt even been alive during all the Books themselves; there's absolutely zero requirement for him to be alive to write these books.  Dead and Gone are wildly different things in the DV, especially with Harry.
