Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Todd put his dog down, he spotted a sign quoting something on the wall. Which author was quoted?

Answer: Robert Louis Stevenson

Because his eyes were wet from his tears, Todd asked the vet to read him the sign. The quote was from Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote "Treasure Island". It read "Do you think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us." When Todd went with the angel in the end, Tammy and Maxine heard him as he cried "Dempsey? Here boy!" In the Acknowledgements, Barker said that the sadness and frustration of losing his dog Charlie was recorded into the book.
2. What was the name of Todd's dog?

Answer: Dempsey

Todd had to cancel his original appointment with Doctor Burrows because his dog Dempsey had been acting strange. He brought it to his vet, and finally the emergency vet. They took blood and x-rays of him while Todd waited on the bench in the entrance.

The vets told him that his best friend of eleven years was "riddled with cancer." Todd brought his dog back, wrapped in his favorite blanket, and had him put down to end his suffering.
3. Tammy Lauper was in charge of what fan base?

Answer: The Todd Pickett Appreciation Society

Tammy spent most of her time claiming the Todd Pickett Appreciation Society was not a simple fan club. She was in love with Todd and kept a close watch on him. When he hid in the Cove, she noticed he was missing. She became central to the story, always fighting for Todd and keeping Katya at a distance.
4. Why were Duke Goga and his men cursed?

Answer: They killed the Devil's son

While the duke was hunting with his men, he spotted a trapped goat. It reminded him of another goat that had mauled him when he was a child. Goga tried to strike the animal, but it kicked him in the face. Outraged, Goga and his men searched madly for the attacker.

When they found it, they realized it was one of the Devil's sons; a half-boy, half-goat. Lilith cursed the men and trapped them in the Devil's Country, where they were forced to spend centuries searching and trying to capture the goat-boy once more.
5. Which was NOT true about Jerry Brahms?

Answer: He wanted to go to the Devil's Country

When he was only twelve or thirteen, he lost his virginity to Katya, the only woman he had ever loved, and ever would. He was diagnosed with a tumor in his prostate which was inoperable. He was given less than a year to live. He was also in love with Todd.

He constantly warned the others not to enter the Devil's Country. But after Jerry ventured there, his tumor simply vanished. The doctors told him that what had happened was impossible. Jerry assumed that it had been a gift from Katya.
6. How did Todd die?

Answer: He was stabbed to death by Katya

The plastic surgery he received did ruin his face, but it did not kill him. When he ventured into the Devil's Country, he was nearly killed by Duke Goga, but was spared when the hunters thought they heard the goat-boy. In the end, Katya grabbed a knife and stabbed him repeatedly while Tammy destroyed the Romanian symbols at the threshold.
7. Which symbols kept the ghosts out of the house in the Canyon?

Answer: Ancient Romanian symbols

With his dying breath, Zeffer asked Tammy to retrieve a large knife from the kitchen. He wanted her to remove the five icons he had placed into each door's threshold. He told her he had received them from Father Sandru's friend. Tammy was able to remove every symbol, but only after getting excruciating jolts of pain in her hands.

After the seal had been broken, the ghosts that haunted Coldheart Canyon were finally able to enter the house.
8. Who said the following line to Tammy: "...I don't know if anyone has ever told you this, but you're quite an amazing lady"?

Answer: Maxine

It was Maxine who gave Tammy the compliment. Before their adventure in the Canyon, Maxine had given Tammy a hard time, disregarding her opinions and comments. When the two returned to the Canyon and found the dead ghost/animal children, Tammy placed large leaves over the faces of the dead and said a small prayer. Maxine admitted to herself that she would never have thought to do something like that.

The two end up as close as sisters, living together.
9. What happened after the ghosts entered the house?

Answer: The ghosts completely destroyed the house

Because Tammy was able to pull the symbols from the threshold, the ghosts were free to return to the house. Upon learning that the Devil's Country was ruined, the ghosts grew furious. They tore the walls, ceiling, and anything else that they could get their hands on- including Katya.

She was ripped to shreds because she had refused to let them enter her house. After the ghosts had finished their destruction, the house could barely stand.
10. After escaping the Canyon, Tammy was unsettled. What helped her get over her discomfort?

Answer: She returned to the Canyon

Along with Maxine (who felt the same unease), Tammy returned to the house in the Canyon. There, they met Todd's ghost and attempted to escape from the angel tormenting him. When the angel caused them to crash, Todd bargained for the girls' lives. His soul was gently taken away and the girls survived.

When Tammy recovered from her wounds, Maxine took complete care of her. She helped Tammy burn all of her useless Todd Pickett memorabilia.
