Chapter 1: Section 5: Page 37: Line 32 (614)

 He became known as the Upstate-Downstate Beast.

Apparently "Downstate Illinois" refers to the "down" side of Chicago which is in the Northeastern part of the state. So the "Upstate" part of his name is probably clarification that he's a Beast of the Chicago area and not the Southern Illinois area which is what most people might think when they hear "downstate." I know, not being familiar with Chicago or Illinois, I would never think "Downstate Illinois" referred to an area around Chicago. That's a ludicrous definition!

Anyway, Lew Basnight has committed a sin so unforgiveable that he's garnered a nickname usually reserved for Satan. The guy is a monster! Apparently. I don't know what he's done, or if he's done anything at all, but all of this circumstantial evidence has convinced me just like it's convinced seemingly everybody else. Where there's smoke, there's fire! Probably. I mean, I suppose it could be mist or clouds mistaken for smoke. But there's almost certainly fire if a bunch of people are screaming "Fire!" even if none of us can currently see it.
