      Eine schwarze Komödie voller abstruser Situationen und verrückter Charaktere: Als Autor anspruchsvoller Literatur liegt Philip Murdstone nichts ferner als Fantasy. Daher ist seine Verwunderung groß, als seine Agentin ihm nahelegt, eine Fantasy-Trilogie zu schreiben, um seine Geldsorgen zu beheben. Doch wenn man wie Philip bereits von Tolkien Ausschlag bekommt, ist das leichter gesagt als getan. Seine dunkelste Stunde scheint gekommen, als er im Suff einen Kobold namens Pocket halluziniert, der ihm einen Fantasyroman diktiert. Überraschenderweise landet Philip damit einen Millionenbestseller und wird zur Fantasy-Ikone. Nur war der Kobold mehr als eine Halluzination. Und er ist gar nicht begeistert, dass sich Philip nicht an ihren Deal erinnert.
