All My Colors

Todd Milstead is a serial adulterer and a jerk who throws the best parties in DeKalb, Illinois. His friends tolerate his behavior because of his excellent hospitality and stock of liquor. In March 1979, Todd begins quoting passages from a novel titled All My Colors. No one else recognizes the title or the text. He is incredulous that he can recite the book from cover to cover while it appears not to exist in the physical world. The narrative follows Todd as he decides to write this phantom book himself. He reasons that if no one has heard of the original work, he cannot get into trouble for reproducing it. The story centers on his psychological state and his interactions with those around him during this period. It draws on the tradition of unreliable narrators and supernatural fiction where reality fractures under personal guilt or obsession. This book suits readers who enjoy character-driven horror and gothic tales set in late twentieth-century America. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or traditional monster stories. The text focuses on Todd’s internal conflict and his descent into a solitary creative process that blurs the line between memory and invention. David Quantick, known for his sharp wit and satirical edge, guides the reader through this unsettling exploration of identity and artistic theft.
