| Summary | "The Shades of Toffee" by Charles F. Myers is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Marc Pillsworth, a scientist who grapples with the unintended consequences of his experiments, particularly when a catastrophic explosion brings a mysterious and alluring character named Toffee into his life, challenging his perceptions of reality and relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Marc Pillsworth in his basement laboratory as he prepares for a crucial experiment. When his attempt to manipulate the laws of gravity goes awry, it leads to chaos and darkness, from which he emerges into a fantastical world alongside Toffee, a girl seemingly conjured from his subconscious. Their interactions begin playfully and flirtatiously, revealing Marc's charm and insecurities as he confronts both his creation and the reality of his marriage to Julie. As they navigate this new dynamic, the consequences of Marc's experiments and the nature of his relationships become central themes, hinting at a blend of humor, imagination, and introspection that fuels the narrative.
