Once... (James Herbert) Easter Egg - What's in a Name?
About halfway through Chapter 20 (p. 217 in the American paperback), various elves/pixies/fairies are introduced. Many of their names are titles of Herbert's books simply reversed. For instance, the first two are Krad and Detnuah--reversed, these give you Dark (from Herbert's "The Dark") and "Haunted"...there are many more (Star, Hanoj, Ekulf, and almost all of the other names)...but, in a variation on the theme, the storytelling elf (who knows all stories) has two names: Semaj and Trebreh...reverse those: James Herbert (ego display or in joke? Such a thin line...).
