Begone Thy Nefarious Beast is a satirical novella inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. This work blends dark humor, cultural commentary, and absurdity to explore themes of chaos, human imperfection, and the search for meaning.

The story centers on a suburban family thrown into disarray by a mysterious flying creature. As they confront the bizarre intruder, they encounter surreal transformations of iconic figures like Aristotle, John Lennon, and Woody Allen, each offering unique and often humorous reflections on happiness, connection, and individuality.

While parodying Poe’s literary classic, the novella delivers sharp commentary on modern life, questioning the effects of materialism, isolation, and individualism. It balances moments of absurd humor with thought-provoking insights, creating an entertaining and reflective narrative.
