The idea is simple, you remove one letter from a book to make an entirely different book.
Make sense?
Okay, we’ll start with an obvious one…
1. Harry Otter and the Philosopher’s Stone; what do you get if you cross J.K. Rowling with Kenneth Grahame? A semiaquatic mammalian wizard, that’s what.
2. The BG; Roald Dahl’s lesser known sequel to his classic children’s book. This time, be afraid, for the giant ain’t so friendly!
3. In Cod Blood; even fish are capable of murder.
4. The World According to Gap; a humorous coming-of-age tale set around the ins and outs of a clothing store.
5. Fifty Hades of Grey; the sadomasochistic adventures of the Greek God of the Underworld (yep, he’s got an Inner Goddess too!)
6. Rash; J.G Ballad’s controversial novel about skin disease fetishists.
7. The Bell Ar; depressed pirates, enough said.
8. A Dance to the Music of Tim; a twelve book saga centered around Tim, a busker who may or may not wear the right kind of overcoat.
9. In search of Lost Tim; the seven volume sequel to A Dance to the Music of Tim, wherein Tim goes missing and lemony cake is eaten.
10. The Portrait of Lady; a contemporary retelling of the classic Disney film.
11. The Hose of Lost Spirits; in this horror classic, a gardener discovers his hose is haunted. Not as dirty as it sounds! ;)
12. Brighton Roc; in which a ravenous mythological bird terrorizes a British seaside resort.
13. The Tory of O; fancy reading about the sexual life of a young conservative politician? No, me neither, but you can in this saucy little volume! :p
Now, over to you…
All that I am, all that I ever was...

First of all, how did you get that photo of my living room?
Clan of the Cave Bar – the regulars at an underground pub become more like family.

Thanks for the comment!
I’m glad you liked the post. It’s a lot of fun trying to come up with them. To be honest, although I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I think I’d definitely read them if the central character was an otter. :)

These are awesome :)
I love ‘The Lion, The Itch and the Wardrobe’, perhaps it’s prequels/sequels could include:
– The Magician’s Nepew; in which our zookeeper is revealed to be the nephew of a magician unable to spell (best I could come up with for that one, I’m afraid!)
– [The Lion, The Itch and the Wardrobe]
– The Horse and his Bo; in which our zookeeper must contend with a horse trained in martial arts.
– Price Caspian; in which our zookeeper is forced to sell his favourite giraffe, Caspian, due to budget cutbacks.
– The Voyage of the Dawn Trader; in which our zookeeper decides to quit his job and become a travelling fruit’n’veg salesman.
– The Silver Hair; in which our ex-zookeeper has a midlife crisis after finding his first grey hair.
– The LAT Battle; in which our ex-zookeeper is rehired to make the zoo the best it’s ever been following a scathing review in the Los Angeles Times.

The last two are my favorites. They show how our zookeeper has matured. Oh yeah, and they made me smile on a day when I thought smiling was an impossibility. Thank you.
