Portugalský spisovatel Nuno Júdice (nar. 1949) vytvořil v novele Šarlatová žena (A Mulher Escarlate, 1997) svou vlastní verzi skutečného setkání slavného portugalského básníka Fernanda Pessoy a neméně proslulého esoterického spisovatele a mága Aleistera Crowleyho, k němuž za záhadných okolností došlo v roce 1930 v Lisabonu. Třetí postavou příběhu je Crowleyho milenka Hanni Jaeger, známá jako Šarlatová žena, která anglického astrologa do Portugalska doprovázela. Fikci Nuna Júdiceho doplňují články z dobového tisku, v nichž Fernando Pessoa mystifikuje portugalskou veřejnost líčením podivného zmizení "Mistra Theriona" v přímořské Bráně pekel poblíž Lisabonu.
