There is no world Los Angeles, 1949. Parmi les rayons d’un magasin de comics, Morris Millman, agent littéraire, croise une de ses idoles : le prolifique et brillant Wilbur H. Arbogast, qui a jadis publié de nombreuses nouvelles dans le magazine pulp Outstanding. Mais Arbogast, fantomatique et secret, n’est plus que l’ombre de ce qu’il a été. Morris rêve de remettre Wilbur sur le devant de la scène. Aurait-il un texte, n’importe quoi à vendre, à promouvoir ? Oui, peut-être… Mais ce livre promis est aussi toxique, il rend fou, il tue. C’est du moins ce qu’affirme l’auteur déchu… L’agent, appâté, veut à tout prix publier ce texte, le vendre à des producteurs de cinéma, tout ça sans même l’avoir lu. Il vient, sans le savoir, de réveiller la folle volonté de puissance d’un auteur dément. Wilbur H. Arbogast ne veut pas seulement vendre un livre, il veut créer une bible. Fonder une religion, régenter le monde... Et grâce à la naïveté de son premier lecteur, il pourrait bien y arriver. Avec Electric Miles, le duo Nury / Brüno, continue de nous surprendre, en transportant le lecteur dans un polar fantastique digne de Philip K. Dick et Stephen King.
