Atlanta Nights is a trash - Fantasy -novel from 2004. It was written by a team of authors who wanted to prove that some publishers also publish very bad books.

action

The novel has no unified plot . The main characters change sex, die and suddenly come back without further explanation. A chapter is written by a computer program that generated a random text from the phrases in the other chapters.

Eventually it is revealed that everything was just a dream , but the story continues for several chapters.

reception

The manuscript was offered to PublishAmerica and accepted by the publisher. The authors decided to expose the hoax . PublishAmerica was no longer ready to print the work and announced that further reading of the manuscript would have revealed that the work did not meet their standards after all. The book was eventually published by LuLu under the pseudonym Travis Tea. All profits will be donated to an Emergency Medical Fund of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America .
