I'm spoiling this. It's about a Dean Koontz series.

Personally, my money is on Dresden becoming something Grander at the end of the BAT rather than dying.
EDIT: I didn't spoil it, I quoted it. Sorry!

"Grander" seems like too much of a "Happily Ever After". More likely he's stuck sitting around all day haunting Mort

I meant more like he becomes something different, like Vadderung. A new, modern Mantle-type being. Not really a happily-ever-after ending, and not quite a "the adventure continues" either. Though I guess that would kinda violate the whole Free Will is Pretty Awesome, Actually theme. I dunno. But I don't see how Harry finishes the series as just a wizard, or as the Winter Knight, or anything like that. He'll be something More than he is now, and not just in a personal growth way.

That's why I said 'past tense' he is writing about events that happened in the past, as a memoir. He is not writing in the present tense, as the events are happening, there fore, he wrote about being a ghost after he came back to life.

Nope, not at all. My whole point was that in the Dresden Files you do not have to be deadALIVE to be able to write a book, or event to be able to write a book and share it with Mortals. So yes, Harry can still very much be dead at the end of the series and still be writing theses books after the fact.
EDIT: Alive, I meant Alive..
