Trivia / The Legend of Rah and the Muggles

  • Colbert Bump: One of the rare case where the author bumps her own work, but for all the wrong reasons.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes:
    • Fewer than a thousand copies of the book exist (although Stouffer claimed that it sold out 150,000 copies in three weeks), and getting your hands on one of the 2001-printed copies is quite hard, although unauthorized and/or used copies are available on Amazon and Ebay. If you want to buy the original 1984 version, however, good luck with that.
    • While the titles of several other novels by N.K. Stouffer have floated around on the internet (namely: Silver Linings, The Sovereign State of Troposonia, The Myn, The Land of the Nother-One and The Fat Frog), because of their extremely limited print run, lack of distribution and absence of info on the Internet, there is no feasible way to purchase any of these books.
  • Reclusive Artist: Aside from Stouffer's general whereabouts (according to her website's FAQ, she lived somewhere in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, later moving to Mechanicsburg), any attempt to contact her has resulted fruitless. This is understandable, as enraged Harry Potter fans flooded her website with death threats after the lawsuit debacle.
  • Stillborn Franchise: Stouffer claimed that she had written a whole series of books about the Muggles, as well as a screenplay for a planned animated film named "Rah and the Light". There is no trace of them or proof of their existance anywhere, not even on the Internet.
  • Vanity Publishing: Twice, in fact. Ande Publishing Company, the author's own publishing company, went bankrupt shortly after the first printing run. During the plagiarism controversy, US publisher Thurman House bought the rights to the book and did another printing run, hoping to capitalize on the whole ordeal... and they also went bankrupt.
