    surreal, speculative

    Science fiction, fantasy, and otherwise unreal fiction I've read. Also including authors I've read more than one book/story from whose work tends to fall in this category.
    I am choosing titles that tend more towards the "weird" - for example, I'm a big fan of Kazuo Ishiguro, but I think that Never Let Me Go isn't strange enough for this list, despite the sci-fi conceit.
    Another favorite author of mine is Shirley Jackson. Many of her stories have a creepy edge, but so far I'm only including The Sundial and The Haunting of Hill House because they are the novels that lean most towards the supernatural.

  • Cover of: Parallel fiction

    This article by Jayashree Arunachalam in The Hindu uses the the term "parallel literature" to refer to stories using the characters and/or settings of previous literary works.

    Short stories in this vein include John Langan's "Technicolor."
