For too long, his genius has gone unnoticed. But when Chet stumbles upon a secret that would shake the publishing world to its core, his ambitions are finally realized...for better or for worse. Come experience the most profound love of all time: an egomaniac's undying love for himself. * "Every word in this story is absolutely perfect. By FAR one of the best and funniest short stories I have ever read!" - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade "This was my favorite story! It was so funny, and I loved the way the authors portrayed chauvinism in writing as satirical to draw attention to its absurdity! Absolutely phenomenal!!!!" - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily K., early reviewer "This was my favorite story of the entire FROM THE ARCANE anthology." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Susan M., early reviewer "I absolutely LOVED this one!!!" - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beba A., early reviewer "Utterly brilliant and captivating. If you don't like this book, you clearly don't appreciate superior intelligence, unparalleled talent, and staggering 'genius-ness.'" - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Green, co-author of THE PILFERED QUILL "Probably one of best stories I've ever read - not including my numerous other literary masterpieces, that is." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachel Rener, co-author of THE PILFERED QUILL
