Robert Stone RIIP: Who Will Stop the Reign ...

The Deaths in 2915 lists under January 10:

Robert Stone, 77, American novelist (Dog Soldiers), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

We have another addition to the "Bob/Cut Short/Float..." pattern-cluster.  Note as well the twin 77-- his age at death... and his surname an addition to the "Peter/Stone/Rock..." pattern-cluster.

Note from the books wiki page:

The book was adapted as a film, Who'll Stop the Rain (1978), starring Nick Nolte. 

As in "who will stop the reign... of terror"?! Note this next excerpt from the books wiki page:

Publisher	Houghton Mifflin

And from following the Houghton Mifflin lead:

Henry Oscar Houghton(April 30, 1823 – August 25, 1895)

Another addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster... this time it's my Grand daughters birthday-- August 25th... my earlier posts today involved my grandsons birthday.   Note as well, the "car" in "oscar" Henry's middle name... definitely fits with the recent "Car" pattern-cluster... and "os" meaning "bone"... a cryptic "death car"!!

I'll let you dig for the rest.
