Who is Tom Taylor? That is the question that haunts the protagonist. The son of a famous writer that disappeared mysteriously and the inspiration for a series of books reminiscent of Harry Potter, he does not have much of his own identity. The title alone gives a nod to Harry Potter, and there is a joke about the similarities as well.
There are tabloids, ravenous fans, and a gathering of horror writers that try to get at his real identity. Then the characters from the books start showing up in Tom's life. It is up to him to determine if they are real or just another group of people bent on exploiting him.
The art will be familiar to anyone that has read the Lucifer series by Mike Carey and Peter Gross. This series has potential, but I wasn't hugely impressed. The first four parts are cohesive, but the last part felt out of place. It did give some insight into other characters though.
I recommend this for any fans of Carey's other books or fantasy stories based in our world.
