Half fun and half serious: What do you guys think some of the upcoming book titles will be for the books we don't know yet? So, not Mirror Mirror or Peace Talks. Personally, I'm curious if one of the books will be called Black Staff.

Gym Day - Wrestling book?
The End - The last book before the BAT?

Not my guess, but the wresting book might be Fight Night (17).
As for the rest, I'm hoping for Past Time (time travel book?) and Devil's Knight (20, last denarian book).
Depending on the plot, the other one (or two) could be Sworn Oaths, Family Matters, Inner Demon (if someone ends up with a coin), False Idols, or Chasing Shadows (because I want a Venatori story, and I might use this one in a fan fic for that plot).
I want a Butters series with Body Bags, Bone Saws, Toe Tag, and Blood Smear. (I've thought about trying these as fan fics)
I want a Molly short story series with her POV from different books. First Crush for PG, and Laying Ghosts for GS.

I think Book 18 might be Heel Turn for the wrestling terminology but that might not be acceptable to the publisher, as for the others I think book 19 will be about the Mavra and Drakul and book 20 will have Nicodemus and the Dragons/kaiju or they might get split up if they are 21 books.

I don't think we'll be seeing the Kaiju until the BAT.

Wait why are we assuming a wrestling book? What am I missing.

How about Coin Toss for the next Nickelhead book?

There is a WoJ, presumed to be truthful, that one of the plots he planned out two decades ago in his series outline is a professional wrestling story. I'm not sure if there's supporting WoJ that it'll be old deities in the circuit, or if it's just been theorized so much that it's assumed.

In the Reddit files podcast interview he said Hades would recommend him to his family. I am praying (no pun intended) that Zeus is Vince McMahon. It would explain a lot.

We're going to see Kaijy in Peace Talks. Remember where Harry was standing (if you've read the first chapter). ;)

That's not Kaiju sized, the footprint was only three feet long. Kaiju hug skyscrapers and leave crater footprints. Supposedly the Kaiju bit is to also involve a modern Naval Battleship, which might not work in Lake Michigan. At least not without, you know, Magic.
-
There is also WOJ that some of the gods gain power via wrestling fame.
I used this in part to theorize that Larry Fowler is a supernatural entity using the talk show host circuit as a means to gather/sustain power too.
I like to believe that Mab will end up in court defending Harry against the lawsuit Larry filed against Harry. It is less about the court case and more about the way the heavy hitters fight around the edges in one upping against the other. We do have WOJ that Mab has a law degree, or at least is a licensed attorney. I find it likely that will play out at some point in the courtroom.

Oh Dear Lord, I would not want to receive THAT legal bill... :o

Why not Black Staff?

I think I want the last book in the series to break the pattern again and finally be called "Semiautomagic" :D
-
Why not Black Staff?
just a personal preference. That title is fine too.

Seems a little "on the nose" for a Blackstaff focused book, maybe? Almost like calling the final novel "Last Book", or if skin game had been "Godly Heist" :P
I think Im swinging back to the last book being "Well F*ck", with the plot centering around two inmates in Demonreach getting together and spawning some world-ender offspring :D

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.
I don't think Jim, or the publisher would use a book title with profanity.
Another possible book title:
Long Shot
why? Well he uses the handle Longshotauthor, and I think he uses the handle long shot when he plays video games sometimes.

Somewhere, wasn't there a WoJ about the Black Staff choosing his or her successor? Seems like kind of a d*ck move if there's a dark pact of some kind involved. Though, there does have to be something that allows Eb to summon and dismiss the BS.

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

"Dark Pact" is fine, it was the "Black Staff" one that seemed too pointed.

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.

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.
