A Parody

Scream for Jeeves

Gavin

Clever enough mashup, and obviously loving, but the prose misses the mark on every page, jolting us out of Plum's dreamworld without even sending into Howard's nightmarish one. (It might seem shallow to judge something on the prose alone, but you can't have Jeeves without perfect pitch, it consists in comic timing and music; if you come at the master you best not miss.)

Critical essay linking Wodehouse, Lovecraft and Doyle is also clever. W and L we're both fantasy authors you see.

I realise there's a lot of Jeeves homage going around, published and Authorised, and so not looking like the fanfiction it is.
