The Penultimate Peril

 * Penultimate : 1. Next to last.
 * 2. Of the penult.

This explains why the name of the next-to-last book in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is called The Penultimate Peril. "Next-to-last" is referring to The End, which is obviously the last book in ASOUE.

The End
The End is near.
