And the Devil Will Drag You Under
Synopsis
When an asteroid headed for Earth is diverted into a deadly collision course, a drunken demon named Asmodeus Mogart hires two unlikely allies — cynical Mac Walters and sharp-tongued Jill McCulloch — to travel across a multiverse of parody worlds to recover the pieces of a magical artifact that can save the planet.
As the trio bounces from a world of elves and dwarves to a realm of high-tech intrigue, the humor escalates alongside the peril, and the bond between the two humans grows from mutual annoyance into genuine partnership. A comic, satirical take on portal fantasy and the multiverse, where the stakes are real but the tone is relentlessly funny.
