Also, characters from the Secret Histories and Nightside make cameo appearances in each others' stories. The Street of the Gods somehow manages to be in both the Nightside and Haven (location of the Hawk & Fisher series). We have it on good authority that those streets are in fact the same street. Somehow. (I think Razor Eddie was originally a street fighter from Haven, before he became the Nightside's famous Punk God of the Straight Razor.) The Ghost Finders of the Carnacki Institute have a couple run-ins with the Droods, and the two groups do not always see eye-to-eye... The Walking Man ("the wrath of G-d incarnate in the world of men", and that isn't a joke) appears both in the Nightside and Hawk and Fisher (different people, same job post -- there is only ever one Walking Man at a time, but he can retire). IIRC he is also mentioned in the Secret Histories, but never seen. And more... It is a fundamental backstory that all his stories share the same universe. References literally abound, everywhere. |

What Harry said . . .
“The man once wrote: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." Tolkien had that one mostly right. I stepped forward, let the door bang closed, and snarled, "Fuck subtle.” ― Jim Butcher, Changes Last edited by alansplace; 08-23-2016 at 12:16 AM. |

Quoting Jim . . .
“Mort drove one of those little hybrid cars that, when not running on gasoline, was fueled by idealism. It was made out of crepe paper and duct tape and boasted a computer system that looked like it could have run the NYSE and NORAD, with enough attention left over to play tic-tac-toe. Or possibly Global Thermonuclear War.” ― Jim Butcher, Ghost Story “Ah!" Journeyman cackled... "Finally! Carefully now, man. If you crack one of my new crystals, I'll hoist you up on a spike!" Grimm cleared his throat calmly. Journeyman squinted over his shoulder. "Ah," he said. "That is, I will report you to... to... the proper person in the chain of command, who will make decisions about discipline that are not mine to make.” ― Jim Butcher, The Aeronaut's Windlass |

Quoting Jim . . .
“I didn’t know this before, but as it turns out, Tyrannosaurs can really haul ass.” “Here’s something else I bet you didn’t know about Tyrannosaurs: they don’t corner well.” ― Jim Butcher, Dead Beat |
