Thirteen Sick Tasteless Classics, Part II is adult literature having adult content and language. The work spoofs, satirizes and humorizes thirteen classic stories from Greek mythology and from American, British,’ Danish and Biblical literature. Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling two popular ancient Greek myths’ “Orpheus” and “The Three Golden Apples.” In the area of ancient legends, the author has reorganized and corrupted the famous Bible-related tale “King David Chooses Solomon.” Short story’ American literature is also spoofed and analyzed in a new rendition of Mark Twain’s “Club Pilot on the Mississippi,” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” Other stories by American authors satirized in this work are Herman Melville’s Moby Dick’ chase in a literary endeavor called “A Whale of a Time” and Jack London’s “The Story of Keesh.” O. Henry is not spared with a new decadent version of “The Ransom of Red Chief” and neither is Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” British literature is not ignored in retelling versions of Rudyard Kipling’s “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” and in an ugly re-creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Red-headed League.” Finally, Danish’ literature is assaulted with a broadsiding of Han Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, “The Nightingale.”
