Summary
All My Colors
The Twilight Zone meets black comedy in this supernatural revenge parody from the "smart, funny, and unique" Emmy-winning writer of Veep (Neil Gaiman) When an aspiring writer--and well-known jerk--plagiarizes a book only he seems to remember, he's dogged by consequences straight out of a horror novel It is March 1979 in DeKalb Illinois. Todd Milstead is a wannabe writer, a serial adulterer, and a jerk--only tolerated by his friends because he throws the best parties with the best booze. During one such party, Todd shows off his perfect recall, quoting poetry and literature word for word plucked from his eidetic memory. When he begins quoting from a book no one else seems to know, a novel called All My Colors , Todd is incredulous. He can quote it from cover to cover--and yet it doesn't seem to exist. With a looming divorce and mounting financial worries, Todd finally tries to write a novel, with the vague idea of making money from his talent. The only problem is he can't write. But the book-- All My Colors --is there in his head. Todd makes a decision: he will "write" this book that nobody but him can remember. After all, if nobody's heard of it, how can he get into trouble? As the dire consequences of his actions come home to both Todd and his long-suffering friends, it becomes clear that there is a high--and painful--price to pay for his crime.
