Product Description

Product Description

This is not a hoax. Jim Theis was a real person, who wrote The Eye of Argon in all seriousness as a teenager, and published it in a fanzine, Osfan in 1970. But the story did not pass into the oblivion that awaits most amateur fiction. Instead, a miracle happened, and transcribed and photocopied texts began to circulate in science fiction circles, gaining a wide and incredulous audience among both professionals and fans. It became the ultimate samizdat, an underground classic, and for more than thirty years it has been the subject of midnight readings at conventions, as thousands have come to appreciate the negative genius of this amazing Ed Wood of prose.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tara Gilesbie for the Sci Fi fan, 13 May 2009
By Jacob Lyons "Otaku wordsmith" (Old London town) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are not familiar with this book or My Immortal, Gilesbie's masterpiece, I can sum up both quickly.
A teenager is given a means to spread their awful syntax and characters, and the world applauds their originality.
The category "So bad it's funny" normally just ends up as "so bad it's bad," but I am happy to say that this book lies in the first category, like the Street Fighter movie and the Horne and Corden sketch show
