"You've met guys like Ben: living in his parents' basement, selling vintage toys on eBay, and still hoping for his first real boyfriend. When his weekly Dungeons & Dragon game gets a new member–Albert, a cute gamer who's just a little too flirty–Ben is launched on a romantic odyssey, whether he's ready or not. The Cleveland Heights LGBTQ Sci-Fi and Fantasy Role Playing Club, Doug Henderson's comedic debut, brings to life two vivid worlds: the hipster neighborhood of Coventry Street in Cleveland, with its comic book shops, record stores, and all-night diners, and the invented landscapes where Ben and his nerdy friends let their imaginations run wild through cities of the dead, floating islands, and the queerest pub in Middle Earth. Henderson has created something special–part Hobbit and part Breakfast Club–a bittersweet story of love and friendship that tackles big subjects like homophobia, social anxiety, and coming out with a touch of magic. Even if you can't tell neutral-chaotic from lawful-good, or a paladin from a druid, you'll be swept up with Ben and his lovable band of outsiders–where the game becomes a map for real life and real life sets the course for the game."–K. M. Soehnlein, The World of Normal Boys
