This is TruthInTelevision, as being a published author, even with a few successful bestsellers, isn't nearly as lucrative as most people assume (as Adam himself explains) and often the other spouse has to work in order to make ends meet.

Also, all of the books in LeHorn's collection actually exist (although the Dæmonolatreia is not a book of spells, as the novel implies, but is a manual for hunting and prosecuting witches, similar to the MalleusMaleficarum.)

While walking his dog in the woods near LeHorn's Hollow, Pennsylvania writer Adam Senft makes a shocking discovery: his neighbor fellating a statue of a Satyr. Or, perhaps, a person in a Satyr suit. Or maybe [[spoiler: the Satyr God Pan.]] After numerous women go missing in the area, Senft begins to suspect that something evil is afoot, and sets off with his friends to find the truth and stop it before it's too late.
