Plot: The lines between reality and perception blur in this comic journey into the life and mind (literally!) of one of sci-fi's most brilliant authors. Paranoid conspiracies of the highest order, drug-fueled interdimensional shifts, and 1970's pop culture combine for the mind-bending adventure of the century.
Genres: Biography, Drama,"Slow stroll on a misty night
Hearts soar under Paris lights
And the feeling is strange, as though we’ve been here before
It’s coming to me now
I trip over stepping-stones
That lead to the deep unknown
But here you stand tall as Eiffel’s tower
And every hour I’m deeper into
Love and Paris Rain
I could drown inside this interlude of
Love and Paris Rain
Take me now as I unfold my very soul unto you, my love
(I fall deeper)
(Music)
And every hour I’m Deeper into
(Chorus)
Slow stroll on a misty night
Hearts soar under Paris lights
It’s coming to me now
(Chorus)
Repeat to fade
