    They made it up. The book doesn't exist.

    he knows that, I think. Im guessing he wants to see some fantasy that was actually written on that scale of horrible, rather than an actual book about witchaloks.

    I know

    I had assumed that the over the top writing style was a parody of some specific author.

    I should have stated that better in my OP

    not "where can i find an actual witchalock"
    But
    "dose any one know what writer/series they are making fun of, or is it just a parody of the genera in general"

    Funny, that sounds just like something a Witchalock would say.

    Anyway, if I remember correctly, the whole thing started out as sort of a joke regarding Tim Buckley ripping off Penny Arcade. Tycho was writing a story called "Epic Legends Of The Hierarchs: The Elemenstor Saga." Then L. H. Franzibald (an obvious parody of Tim Buckley) wrote the "Song of the Sorcelator" which was meant to be a poor rip-off. This all happened in the comic, not in real life.

    Over time it grew and evolved, and now I think it's just meant more as a parody of bad fantasy in general like Twilight and Eragon.

    Except it's So Bad it's Awesome instead of So Bad it's Horrible. Mike & Jerry are too good for that.
