So the big bad magic user who has disappeared into a pocket dimension but whose body we have not seen is surely dead. Yeah, right.

Well, as long as he's only Comic Book Dead, Mr. Stross has the option of bringing him back if he writes himself into a corner. But I had the impression that his absence is balanced by that fact that Bob is at some risk of becoming him.

I feel quite confident that we have not seen the last of Mr. de Montfort Bigge.

You are correct!

Not a spoiler, honest: the next two books in the new series are now scheduled: IN HIS HOUSE is due on my editor's desk next month, and BONES AND NIGHTMARES by October. No definite publication dates yet, and I think it's safe to say that Rupert doesn't actually show up in the flesh again until early in BONES AND NIGHTMARES, although his presence is palpable in the middle book of the trilogy.

Either the door won't remain closed, or you can have more than one door to the same neverland. I look forward to finding out which.

Hah! You faked me out. Good show, sir.

I'm afraid I didn't do so on purpose. I thought that "big bad magic user" obviously referred to Rupert de M.-B. in this context.

Some pockets are... awkwardly small?
