Imagine a world where every soul that has ever passed away finds themselves on the Styx—a realm that is less about punishment and more of a cosmic gathering place. In this intriguing book, we meet Charon, the iconic ferryman, who is taken aback by the unexpected arrival of a houseboat on his river. Initially worried it might threaten his livelihood, he soon learns that he has been assigned the role of the boats janitor. What unfolds next is a series of twelve captivating stories, each one a delightful thought experiment that places famous figures from history and mythology in unexpected encounters. With no central theme to bind them, these short stories explore the fascinating interactions of notable souls, inviting readers to ponder what might happen when the greats of the past share a space.
