Mark Richardson's Hunt for the Troll is a step up from ordinary pulp. It's what happens to San Francisco noir when the shiny new promise of Silicon Valley comes to town, pushing back the fog to play some light in the corners. In this case, the light is more ominous than the dark. Our comfortable eyes, adjusted to the power outage, are burned by the glare when the lights go on.

It all starts when a twenty-something software programming genius is visited while he sleeps by a mysterious figure referred to as the Troll. 'We're going to change the world,' the Troll tells the narrator. Soon you're introduced to an assortment of off-beat characters: a red-haired, one-eared, female temptress; a pot-smoking tech reporter; a computer-generated Halfling; and a few venture capitalists who are all interested in finding the Troll. Mostly taking place in San Francisco, Hunt for the Troll is a quirky hybrid of mystery, pulp, and modern fairy tale.
