Books like Mr. Real by Carolyn Crane

Name: Mr. Real
Author: Carolyn Crane

Alix Gordon, carefree and humorously unburdened, stumbles upon occult software that animates any digital image. She tests it with fashion files, then summons Sir Kendall, a dashing TV ad spy who bears an uncanny resemblance to Paul Reinhardt, her former martial‑arts instructor and childhood admirer. Paul, who despised Sir Kendall for the character’s role in an ad campaign, finds himself inexplicably drawn to Minnesota where he encounters the real Sir Kendall, now entangled with Alix. What follows is a cross‑country road trip fraught with supernatural mishaps, toxic obsession, and questions about the nature of identity and desire. Humor, romance, and paranormal intrigue collide as the trio confronts mysterious transformations and the blurred line between creation and reality.

First publish date: 2012
