Explain the Plot Badly

Blog, Fun, Writing POST A COMMENT October 20, 2025 by Moderator R

It’s Monday! Before you boo, we’re ushering in a week when classic museum heists are back on the news, the clocks are about to turn back, and it’s hard to focus pocus on anything but tricks and treats.

The immortal Texan wereferret hedgehog diaspora fun in Friday’s comment section have once again proven that we are a mighty Horde in STEM (shenanigans, tomfoolery, escapades and mischief). What better time to encourage a little creative BDH chaos?

There are famous subreddits called Explain a Book (or Movie) Plot Badly, where people summarize beloved stories so inaccurately, they become masterpieces.

Think:

Professional nephew goes on long walk and loses jewellery.

Lord of the Rings

Or:

Girl lands her man after she dries her hair, shows off her legs and stops talking.

The Little Mermaid

Naturally, we must try this with Ilona Andrews books. Here’s my go at the first one:

Ex-warlord with attachment issues discovers the power of cows, gardening, and unconditional love after cursing at a unicorn.

I know you can do worse!

Pick an Ilona Andrews book, novella, or even a free snippet and explain the plot badly in the comments. Be as misleading as possible while staying technically accurate. If your summary makes another reader snort tea out their nose or makes Ilona message me with “MOD R, NO!” you’re doing it right.

Go forth, BDH. Confuse newcomers, alarm Goodreads, and make Caldenia proud.

Anyway I went on to tell him that there was going to be a new book in the House series, which he particularly liked, especially the ferrets. So I told him, well,”remember the guy who could turn into anything?” “What? No.” “You know, the detective family worked for him in the first book? Oh. Yes well, he has just finished up a job where he turned into a woman, that’s why I described him as being turned into anything. Anyway, his new client is the sister of the guy with the ferrets. She offers him a job he can’t refuse, and that’s where the snippet ends. So this story will have animals.” Could any description of a story be worse?
