An unusual urban fantasy. Tony works as a production assistant for a third-rate TV serial about a vampire detective. He is young, gay, and fascinated by television. He wants to be a director. Arra works for the same serial as a special effects wizard. She is middle age, grumpy, and doesn’t like anyo...
Tony Foster, a secondary character from Huff's Victoria Nelson series, has moved away from Toronto to find himself as a non-addict, non-hustling adult. And also to get away from the all the weird shit that keeps happening with vampires and mummies. Unfortunately, evil wizards from another dimension ...
Why do we usually watch an action flick? Not for it's amazing story line or life changing dialogue...it's for pure entertainment.
