Two of history's most notorious troublemakers—Emperor Nero and occultist Aleister Crowley—trade wildly anachronistic letters in this profanity-laced, laugh-out-loud satire. It's an epistolary roast of power, fame, and bad decisions: murder-yacht "bonding," sex-magick how-tos, spin-doctored fires, tabloid arrests, demon drama, and funeral playlists that slap. It's all gleefully invented—the editor even warns the correspondence is "entirely fictional... a satirical fever dream," not a scholarly record. Darkly Yours

Cameo letters crash the party, too—Rasputin writes Crowley and Genghis Khan writes Nero—because of course they do. Darkly Yours

Chapter-style letters keep the chaos moving (from "The S.S. Murder Yacht" to "Sex Magick: Chapter 69" to "PR Management: Blame the Christians"), blending sharp cultural jokes with gleefully disrespectful history. If you like epistolary comedy, black humor, and unapologetically adult satire, you're in for a riot.
