Errors in Bag Of Bones
- Only a slight error, but in Chapter 16, the haiku of George Seferis is quoted. Although it is a valid haiku, it's not layed out correctly.

Or just the gramophone?
A Haiku consists of 3 lines with the following syllable lay out.
First line : 5 syllables
Second line : 7 syllables
Third line: 5 syllables - On page 7 (Chapter 1), when Mike identifies his wife's body at the morgue, it says that her eyes were closed. But later, on page 215 (Chapter 13), when he makes love to his wife in his "triple-dream", it says that one of her pupils were larger than the other, like it had been, when he had seen it on the monitor at the morgue. (This error was discovered by Blu Silva via B_Hansen. Thanks.)
- On page 362 (Chapter 21) it says that the people in the dream Mike had, parted as if they were all magnetic, and that he and Ki were positives, while the people around them were negatives. Basic magnetism shows that opposites attract, not repel as in this case.
- On page 427 (Chapter 25) Mike mentions Mattie owned CD's of some eighties and nineties bands, and one was called called "Ah-Hah". The band in question was actually named "a-ha".
- A reference to Edvard Munch's painting, "The Scream", is mistakenly called "The Cry".
