The Affix is a comedic paranormal thriller novel by Lee Gaiteri, the first in the Paranormal Curio series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A gem that bends probability like a pretzel and glows in the dark latches onto a man who just wants to get on with his hard-earned weekend. Matt Kellogg, its reluctant "keeper", tries to protect his friends (and his stalker ex-girlfiend) as hordes of dangerous people come out of the woodwork to claim the jewel. Every attempt to get rid of it fails and just makes things worse, forcing Matt to dodge constantly from one danger into another.The longer Matt spends in the gem's company, the faster everything around him falls apart. Chaos ensues. Even worse, order ensues.The series continues with The Well of Moments.

Affably Evil: "Professor" J. P. Wallace. He's completely unfettered and casually sinister—but he's so darn polite and charming about it.

Anvil on Head: Invoked. Mike suggests that trying to kill the gem's keeper could bring weird cartoon consequences down on Kilraen. Matt is so pissed off by the attempt that later he promises to make that happen, as soon as he figures out how. Ultimately subverted: It's a Piano Drop instead.

Asshole Victim: Todd Henderson, a Jerkass Matt knew from college who once literally kicked a puppy. Matt uses his name as an alias, even knowing there's a chance Henderson will get dragged into the mess, because he figures it may as well happen to someone who deserves it. Todd does get dragged in briefly, and of course it's the result of a bizarre coincidence.
