Requiem for a Science Fiction Hack

Graham Hodner was known as the Poor Man’s Philip K. Dick as an author because of his far out plot twists and great sense of Cosmic wonder in his novels. His cult status as an author took a nose dive when he had a massive nervous breakdown ten years ago due to the excesses of Alcohol and other stimuli. Since then his backlist of writing went slowly out of print but he is now ten years sober in Alcoholics Anonymous. Unfortunately, for the last ten years a massive writer’s block garnered him only thirty pages of a manuscript. What should he do to get a manuscript draft of a new novel now that a publisher is offering a large advance out of nowhere. How does he go about getting around his writer’s block? The publisher is willing to go surreptitiously to any lengths to get Hodner paranoid and off-center to get the best, most sublime far out science fiction out of him. But at what cost to Graham Hodner,, the unbeknownst target of freaky subterfuge?
