With a Pervect, a Troll, a Trollope, a talking stone gargoyle, an apprentice, two Mobster bodyguards, and a pet dragon, what is missing from Skeeve’s band? A friendly neighborhood vampire and werewolf, of course! And Skeeve need not even go to the corner store, just open his back door to find a new terrifying dimension. Like a fast-paced improv skit, Asprin keeps the reader on his toes following Skeeve’s shenanigans. The MYTH series of episodic quests and pranks create a comedic riot that is a combination of British and American humor. With melodrama that knows it is over the top, these upbeat and whimsical romps will leave you feeling a little waggish.

Whenever life is getting too stressful, I go see what Skeeve has been up to. In Myth-ing Person, Skeeve learns that a few bad tourists can give a whole species a bad reputation – just ask the vampires or werewolves. Little Myth Marker teaches Skeeve the importance of knowing what marker he is accepting when playing Dragon Poker. The M.Y.T.H. series is a light-hearted romp into a fantasy world where wordplay and silliness are standard fare.

I love this series. Skeeve and company are some of my favorite characters ever. ( )

Interdimensional search silliness.

The Myth gang, in this, the fifth book of the series are now working out of the Bazaar of the Dimensions. Thanks to the Deveels Aahz goes looking for someone in another dimension, and doesn't reappear. Guess who has to go find him? Where he actually is means the usual things that Skeeve can rely on aren't going to work for him, so more fun and games to be had.
