Summary

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die. The publishing industry has brought us our favorite books and stories and escapes, but it’s also brought us some horrific distortions of reality, too. Though you may have grown up with some of these books, they continue to get released today, warping enemies-to-lovers tropes from Trump supporters and liberals. Why publish these stories at all?
