Where Authors Meet Their Cast... And Everyone Has Something to Hide. A masterclass in genre-blending and meta-narrative Craft cleverly disguised as an authentic supernatural mystery Romance.
Who doesn't dream of being an Author? But the Author of Certain Books had to face a difficult reality when a group of pub regulars invoked him using a magick circle so they could ask him questions directly. But that's just the beginning of this tale about what happens when stories start writing themselves...
If you love:
Jasper Fforde's "Thursday Next" series for its meta-literary playfulness
Terry Pratchett's "Witches" books for their genre-savvy humor
Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" for its supernatural world-building
...then join the ongoing narrative rebellion in Cursed L'Hooves - where even the Author isn't sure who's really telling this story!
When a dead werewolf turns up at a supernatural casino during a magickal blizzard, three unsuspecting Cast members discover they're all part of someone else's story:
Callie, a shape-shifting horse with a dark past and a darker form
Buck, a mechanic who bitches about cars by day and shape-shifts into a goat by night
April, a Romance novelist cursed to transform into a cow at inconvenient moments
Between dodging supernatural politics, untangling ancient grudges, and dealing with a Goddess who thinks blizzards make excellent plot devices, our troupe discover that sometimes the best stories happen when everyone stops trying to control the narrative.
Questions from the Pub's Magick Circle: - "Are you the kind of Author who plots a book scene-by-scene before changing the world? Or do you just dive in?"
"Your storytelling changed, didn't it? It's like you were inside my head after that."
"Are you saying we are being impacted by a Reader?"
"What about the blizzard? Can you do anything about that?"
"Excuse me. Do you have six fingers on your right hand?"
"Can you illuminate us on recent supernatural events?"
"I just realized you are much more accessible than other Authors. Do you ever have problems with fans?"
Watch as narrative layers unfold, reality bends, and different genre elements dance together in this uniquely crafted tale that explores the whodunnit relationship between creators and their creations.
Just remember: in the Midlands, every Cast member has their own agenda - even the ones who haven't been written yet.
