1. **“The Last Unicorn’s Tax Return” by J.K. Rowling**
In this gripping tale, a unicorn struggles to navigate the complexities of the IRS while trying to maintain its magical lifestyle. Rowling claims, “I was inspired by my own tax woes. Who knew unicorns had to file quarterly?”

In a shocking departure from his usual fantasy fare, Martin explores the riveting world of tax preparation through the eyes of a dragon. “I wanted to show that even mythical creatures have to deal with the mundane,” he said, while sipping a goblet of wine.
3. **“Fifty Shades of Beige” by E.L. James**
This steamy novel dives deep into the world of interior design, where a woman finds herself torn between two shades of beige. “It’s a love story that will leave you questioning your color palette,” James quipped. “And yes, there are whips—of paint!”
4. **“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the AI Apocalypse” by Douglas Adams (posthumously)**
In this posthumous release, Adams humorously tackles the impending doom brought on by AI. “I always knew they’d take over,” he allegedly said from beyond the grave. “But I didn’t think they’d steal my punchlines!”
5. **“The Great Gatsby: A Guide to Modern Dating” by F. Scott Fitzgerald (also posthumously)**
Fitzgerald’s classic is reimagined as a self-help book for millennials navigating the treacherous waters of dating apps. “I just wanted to help people avoid the green light of disappointment,” he reportedly said, while ghostwriting from the afterlife.
