The novel is about an editor in a paperback publishing house who gets a manuscript from what appears to be a crackpot. The manuscript is about magic, but it also contains photographs that seem very real. The editor writes the author a rejection slip, but because of the photographs, he also notifies the police where the author lives. This enrages the author, who sends a mysterious plant to the editor s office. The story is told in Epistolary novel epistolary format , consisting entirely of letters, memos and correspondence. History King wrote a few parts of a story by the same name and sent them out as chapbook s to his friends, instead of Christmas card s, in 1982, 1983 and 1985.
