The Spam Letters, Jonathan Land presents a humorous and cathartic collection of his actual email exchanges with spammers. Rather than simply deleting the junk mail, Land chose to engage with the senders in a series of warped, imaginative, and ludicrous conversations.
Concept: Compiled from nearly 200 of Land's entries, the book parodies and taunts the "faceless salespeople" behind the junk emails.
Content: Each piece of correspondence is based on a real spam email, with Land creating an over-the-top, fictional scenario that he follows through to a ridiculous conclusion.
Purpose: For readers who hate spam, the book offers a humorous alternative to simply deleting it. It provides a dose of comical vengeance on behalf of everyone who has to deal with junk emails.
Author's experience: The book shares insights from Land's personal experience, including how his practice of replying to spammers significantly increased the amount of spam he received—a cautionary tale for readers.
