The Old Gods Return

[Tony]

One of John Shirley's first novels was called The Transmaniacon MC and is
filled with BOC references.

I was at my local library yesterday and came across a novelization of the
movie 'Constantine'. I haven't read the Hellblazer comics and had no
interest in seeing the movie when it was out, and was going to pass this
by, but then noticed it was by John Shirley, so I opened it up out of
curiosity. Right up front he puts this quote:

 "Exactly when the world is not expecting it,
     exactly when we're sure of ourselves-
   that's exactly when the Old Gods Return
           and sweep our cities...
              BACK INTO HELL!"
  -Blue Oyster Cult, "The Old Gods Return,"
       from 'Curse of the Hiden Mirror'

I'm assuming BOC didn't actually get on the soundtrack or I'm sure it would
have been mentioned here, but its nice of JS to plug the band in the book I
thought.
