(3) YA Washed-up British YA author Philip Murdstone is pressured by his agent to write something she can sell: high fantasy. Horrified at the prospect and in a drunken stupor, the old man has a vision of a Phantasy epic and makes a Faustian deal with a dwarfish stranger. Clearly adult-aimed but with appeal for mature teen fans, Peet's raunchy dark comedy brilliantly satirizes publishing.
