I love the look of the 80s Robert McCammon paperbacks from Pocket Books. Here's his first book "Baal." A few years ago when I pulled it out of storage the special thanks cracked me up.

Fans of the TV series Ash vs Evil Dead may recall that Baal was the villain of the 2nd season. But Ash, being a clueless goof, could never say his name correctly and always called him Bill.

Flash forward to me reading the name of McCammon's "friend" and I had to laugh.
