In shadowy Stockholm bars and apartments, a charismatic artist tracks down the cast and producers of a failed Fantasy film. She seduces the "Sorrowful Prince," lets the tech-savvy "Dwarf" bore her on the subject of linguistics, and muses on the "Witch Master's" grisly fate. Her casually acerbic account of her interviews rambles over the tropes of genre literature and the problems of modern society: greed, narcissism, corruption. Fantasy is a sexy, troubling glimpse into the vacuum created when a Fantasy collapses.

Translated from the Swedish by Saskia Vogel
The whisper of castles in the sky collapsing. (Insert special effects here.) The drag force of passing deadlines and overdrawn budgets. Was it all just a matter of money, as usual? Or was there, as some say, another story, better insofar as it was much worse? I’m not much for conspiracy theories, but I am fascinated by money: numbers made from a void that we use as a synonym for reality. Is there a worse conspiracy? I said this to the Sorrowful Prince, who seemed to understand what I meant. He was an intelligent person in many ways, one whose money had wrapped him in an unreality that he unsuccessfully tried to reshape into something he could live with. He was the first one to tell me about The Plot. Though it had been covered by the media, it was already forgotten. The Sorrowful Prince told me too much, but it was far from everything. His official perspective was, of course, that everything was just a matter of money.
