Again, can’t take a DQ for #1 'cause EH asked about John Quincy Adams/

Hmm, 1st half of the 20th Century. Possibly Bradbury. Frank Herbert and Vonnegut are too late. Maybe from a children’s book? Ponder, ponder, think, think…

46

I’m coming up blank. Hmmm…

47

Had the sudden inspiration that it might be Capt. Ahab, but he was pre-1900.

48

Possible questions: Adult character? From a children’s book? Award winner? Best seller? Fantasy? Horror? Western? Mystery? (since SF is only secondary)

EH, you can ask any leftover DQs you have.

54

No, thanks - I’m drawing a blank. I give up.

55

I can’t even come up with a good guess. I give up as well.

56

Bonus hint: I am a fictional author. The book I wrote didn’t actually exist, but after the stories I appeared in were published, numerous versions of my work continue to be made to this day.

57

Hmm. I have a feeling I’ll have earned a good headsmack when the name is revealed, but right now I’m still drawing a blank.

58

Back to the old thinking cap.

59

Nope. Still nothing. I pass.

60

I am Abdul Alhazred, the Mad Arab credited with writing the Necronomicon in stories by H. P. Lovecraft. Since then, the Necronomicon has been adapted as art collections, New Age/Occult titles, and game props.

This ring a bell, or was it too obscure?
