The Twilight Zone meets black comedy in this supernatural revenge parody from the âsmart, funny, and uniqueâ Emmy-winning writer of Veep (Neil Gaiman)
Â
When an aspiring writerâand well-known jerkâplagiarizes a book only he seems to remember, heâs dogged by consequences straight out of a horror novel
It is March 1979 in DeKalb Illinois. Todd Milstead is a wannabe writer, a serial adulterer, and a jerkâonly tolerated by his friends because he throws the best parties with the best booze. During one such party, Todd shows off his perfect recall, quoting poetry and literature word for word plucked from his eidetic memory. When he begins quoting from a book no one else seems to know, a novel called All My Colors, Todd is incredulous. He can quote it from cover to coverâand yet it doesn't seem to exist.
With a looming divorce and mounting financial worries, Todd finally tries to write a novel, with the vague idea of making money from his talent. The only problem is he can't write. But the bookâAll My Colorsâis there in his head. Todd makes a decision: he will âwriteâ this book that nobody but him can remember. After all, if nobodyâs heard of it, how can he get into trouble?
As the dire consequences of his actions come home to both Todd and his long-suffering friends, it becomes clear that there is a highâand painfulâprice to pay for his crime.
