The People You Meet in Hell is a hilarious take on the worst people in history, presenting an almanac of real-life villains who have walked the Earth. From well-known notorious figures like Ivan the Terrible, known for his gruesome hobbies such as impaling, beheading, and burning, to lesser-known criminals like Dr. James H. Carlisle, who orchestrated an African war game and called it dodgeball, this book offers a unique perspective on the darkest aspects of human behavior. However, this is not your ordinary history book. In this clever rearview, readers are invited to embrace and chuckle at the idea of customized hells for each baddie.

Jeffrey Dahmer, for instance, is sentenced to a lifetime of veganism, forced to endure a diet devoid of his beloved meat. Ivan the Terrible must match all the heads he removed to their original bodies, a daunting task that seems impossible. And James H. Carlisle is condemned to climb an eternal rope in gym shorts, a punishment that is both humiliating and physically exhausting.

The book is filled with funny illustrations that bring the characters to life and add to the humor of the situation. The devil himself even provides star ratings for each villain, with four stars for depravity, showcasing his twisted sense of humor. With its tongue-in-cheek attitude, The People You Meet in Hell is a must-have read for the spooky season and a perfect holiday gift for true crime enthusiasts. Whether you're a fan of history or just looking for a laugh, this book will provide you with an entertaining and thought-provoking experience.
