These are hoaxes, some of which have lain here undetected since May 2006. They claim to be plot elements from a book entitled The Chronicles of Zalfos. Searching Amazon turns up no books by that or any similar title. Google Web turns up nothing, either. The articles link to a web page on a free web page site that tells us that the title is in fact The Serpent of Zalfos. Amazon doesn't have that, either, or indeed any books by M. Gremillion at all. Most tellingly, even the purported vanity press, Inkwater Press (a.k.a. First Books), that the web page claims publishes these books, comes back empty handed when asked for these titles. All of the articles were created by, which is the same account name as used at the free web page site and also the initials of the purported author. Uncle G 00:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
