Rachel Lawson's The Magicians Podcast

Lance's having an identity crisis, he has just found out he's not real.

Song from episode the Interview

A voice rises from the edge of reality — a shadow asking the one question no creator ever expects to hear. Am I real… or just something you imagined?“Am I Just a Shadow You Drew?” is the haunting theme song to our story of the same name, capturing Lance Alexander’s fear, longing, and the shattering moment he discovers he may be nothing more than a dream in someone else’s mind.With lyrics that echo through the halls of time, the song sets the emotional tone for a tale where characters confront their maker, nightmares bleed into truth, and the line between creation and creator dissolves.This is the sound of a man questioning his own existence — and the world that dared to write him.

When Lance Alexander steps through what looks like an ordinary portal, he expects a quick shortcut through time. Instead, he stumbles into a world where he—and everyone he loves—exist only as characters in a stranger’s imagination. His life, his pain, his magic… all just words on a page.In this episode, Lance confronts the terrifying possibility that he is nothing more than a dream someone else dreamed. A shadow someone else drew. And when he seeks out the author who created him, the encounter spirals into a reality‑breaking collision between creator and creation.Step into the halls of time, where nightmares bleed into truth, and discover what happens when a Magician learns he might not be real at all.

Blake lies beneath the moon, lost in its beauty — until a falling star crashes into the park.

And one of the creatures has slipped into Lance’s pocket.What follows is a confrontation between duty, compassion, and the monstrous truth.This is Shadows of Hell — where even the cutest things can come from nightmares.
