Don’t know the children’s novel. Um, a lot of his books are horror, a lot of his books make reference to Shawshank prison and perhaps even Andy Dufresne, I think, a lot of his books are written in English…
Queens of the Stone Age
I don’t know the names of them all; let’s say, Frodo, Samwise, uh, Pippin, Merry, Bashful, Dopey… I’m just embarrassing myself.
Don’t know
Just a random-ass guess: Bulbasaur

Considering the books I’ve gone through of his recently (Dark Tower, Talisman, Black House) and throwing the Shining into the mix, he loves evil buildings.
Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf. The singing man is Tom Bombadil.
Not sure on the first part. They were written by Stephen King? More seriously, I’ve heard that many of his books were inspired by his nightmares.
Unknown
Frodo, Samwise, Merry…umm and the Took. Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir. Singing man…Tom Bombadil?
I forget the name, but it was the symbol they kept finding and was in the window that he used to start the fires.

Heh, this one gets complicated. Niobe Kaftan is Clotho (In this role she has an affair with Norton who is Time) and later Lachesis. As a young woman she marries Cedric and fathers “Junior” who grows up to be known as the magician. In her 2nd marriage she becomes the mother of Orb who later becomes Nature. She is the grandmother of Luna (The magicians daughter) who becomes involved with Zane, who is in the role of Death. Orb, prior to becoming nature has a relationship and child with Mym, who later becomes War. After that relationship and after becoming Nature she marries Satan (known as Parry in his human life). Orb and Mym’s child is adopted out and grows up to be Orlene who has an affair with Norton (before he becomes Time). She has a child who dies as an infant, commits suicide but later assumes the role of Good. Nox is the incarnation of Night who has existed since the beginning of time and has various interactions with pretty much everyone. I’m sure I missed a few details, but that is the main gist.
To be precise, Yeager was NOT the first person to break the speed of sound. Several WWII prop fighter planes, notably the American P-47 and the German FW-190 and the German jet, the Me-262, were noted to have broken the sound barrier in uncontrolled dives. In fact, the Germans, as I recall, developed the swept wing on the Me-262 (the world’s first jet fighter), based on research conducted on their prop planes, to specifically fight the loss of control to the wing surfaces during these high-speed dives.
Yeager, I believe, was the first person to break the sound barrier in level powered flight.
(Yeager was played by Sam Shepherd, btw, in The Right Stuff).
% This is the song nobody knows,
and when they dance they step on toes,
somebody started singing it not knowing how it ends

While Brad and Janet are from Denton, the state is never identified in canon. That Denton is in Ohio is speculation, usually based on the fact that a copy of the Cleveland Plain Dealer appears in the film.
The Incarnations of Immortality:
Death
Chronos
War
The Fates
Gaea
The Devil
God
Mercifully I have forgotten much of the interlinkages between the various characters.
Holy shit, man. I mean, I don’t know anything about Pokemon, but I’m thinking this indicates that you’re able to remember several numbered lists of size into the hundreds each. Is this like people who can correspond all the athletes from some sport with their number over a period of several years? I mean, wow.
More seriously, I’ve heard that many of his books were inspired by his nightmares.
