Lost on a Page

Some genres still don't play well together.

Joe Slade is a detective with a hot lead and an existential crisis. Still seeking to escape his fictional existence, he and his mentor Ellodrine, a wizard who suffers from reinterpretation, hunt for the artifacts that will open a way to the World Where The Books Are Written. The trail has taken them to the rugged frontier of the Old West. There, they will discover twisted plots and dangerous foes who will launch them into a blurring journey through the genres: High Fantasy, Hardboiled Mystery, Gritty Steampunk, Gothic Vampire Horror, and other terrors too fearsome to fathom.

But can Joe and Ellodrine discover true selves in the midst of their fictional natures? And can they still triumph when The Antagonist turns their stories against them?
