Tom Holt writes comic fantasy that treats gods, magic, corporations and mythical creatures as practical problems made worse by bureaucracy and human incompetence. Expecting Someone Taller begins when an ordinary man accidentally gains power over the heroes and gods of Norse myth, while Who’s Afraid of Beowulf? brings legendary warriors into modern life. The Portable Door turns a mysterious London firm into the gateway for increasingly strange magical business, beginning the J.W. Wells & Co. series. Holt’s novels are brisk, clever and packed with deadpan reversals, treating supernatural systems as if they had office policies and accounting problems. They suit readers of British comic fantasy, mythological parody, workplace magic and absurd speculative fiction. Read more Less
