Starting a new job is always stressful (especially when you don't particularly want one), but when Paul Carpenter arrives at the office of H.W. Wells, he has no idea what trouble lies in store. Because he is about to discover that the apparently respectable establishment now paying his salary is, in fact, a front for a deeply sinister organisation that has a mighty peculiar agenda.

It seems that half the time his bosses are away with the fairies. But they're not, of course. They're away with the goblins.

Mister Tom Holt, Master of the Comic Fantasy Novel, cordially invites you to join him in his world of madness by reading his next hilarious masterpiece, The Portable Door.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
